Kinda mixed. The D 4-8-0 has a hooter, while SD 2-10-0 has a 6 chime.

Interesting design... downright beastly cylinders. She puts the Pennsy Decs to shame!

Well, I do like the firebox a lot, which is saying something, coming from me. I've begun to adopt designs where the firebox spans the rear two drive axles myself...

Thanks. I must note, though: it's designed for slow frieghts, where tractive effort is most important. The I1s had about 26,000 pounds more than mine.
