DynaChuff
TM
. Real steam locomotive
chuffing depends on the locomotive’s load.
DynaChuff simulates both labored and
relaxed chuffing sounds. Highball down the
mainline and hear the labored chuffing of a
locomotive battling inertia. Reduce your
throttle setting, and chuffing relaxes to a
more sedate sound, as though the load
placed on the ‘A’ Class has decreased.
Experience DynaChuff on steep grades, at
yard crawls, and at speed.
Another
RailSounds exclusive.

with the CAB-1 BRAKE command.
