Hey all, Just thought I'd share a current project with the group. It might seem like its slightly off topic in that it is on board sound:), but its a fairly...
Dear Jim, Glad to see that "Phoebe" has room for A.C's hat :-) With relatively small wheels, and assuming the standard "4 chuffs per wheel revolution", I'd...
Dear Professor, Thank you for dialing right in on the crux of the situation:). Its the polyphony that is messing with me. The ideas so far (not including your...
Dear Professor, Ok, just asked Dan about the maximum speed revolutions... will likely hear back from him tomorrow. I read through the midi sampler info and I...
Hi Jim and all, There is a steam engineering rule of thumb for MOST reciprocating steam engines (simple conventional steam locos have 2 of them - one cylinder...
Hey John, Professor, That helps. Some of it is basics, but some of it is new to me (mostly the maths parts:). Dan's trackwork is deliberately bad, that is, it...
Dear Professor, Ok, as promised I am conveying the info on The Phoebe speed and chuff rate. Pasted below is the entire response from Dan... he's being such a...
Hey John, Professor, any:), Ok, much as I hate to:) I've done a little bit of math based on Dan's observations, and... I'm still hopeful:). I still have some...
Hi Jim, The first YouTube clip is now up after almost 24 hours "processing" HQ looks like it is available as well. It was processed from the original avi file....
Hi Jim, Some initial thoughts - 13" dia is about 1/2 the wheel dia of the locos that I am used to = Twice as many revs to cover the same distance = twice as...
Dear Jim, Um, on thinking about this, I think it <is> the maths that's "getting in the way". Consider the Sound... (Whoa, lets not get crazy now... :-) ). When...
Hi Jim and all, Don't forget that the chuff is simply an echo made by the unexpended energy of the steam after it has pushed the piston to its limit and the...
Hey John, Thank you, I think:). I poured through your post a couple of times and it started to make sense... Dan predicted 96 chuffs/minute at top speed... you...
Hi Jim, thinking polyphonically here - each cylinder has 2 chuffs for each rev - that means that for 1 chuff - is partially decayed when the next chuff comes...
Dear Professor, Not really:). I mean, I agree with everything completely. I don't care for the chuff sounds of most decoders, and some of them actually pitch...
Hey John, I do appreciate you taking this seriously at all... I do, and thank you for that! I think we're one email behind each other (hop scothcing:), so the...
Hi Jim Re using D class amps, its a good choice for the application efficiency wise, but a wee heads up - (you are probably aware but it can't hurt to mention...
Dear Jim, I'll make these comments, and I'm sure you'll say "I get it"... Even the most "cheapo" MIDI controllers/"keyboards" (M-Audio, Line 6, Roland/Edirol,...
Hi Jim The second upload has fallen over and has been re-initiated :-( More later but it is several hours away for good news on this one Regards, John Garaty ...
