Video
clip is a small mpeg file showing the default start up sounds
under DCC. The throttle is increased slowly to full and then
back to zero. All sounds up to this point are automatically
generated by the decoder. Then we turn on the bell, hit the
long and short horn a couple of times before ending. This
was recorded at about one foot from the engine with all of
the sound options turned to maximum..
