Jim, that is where I was going. <warning, change of topic>

I just washed the unpainted model in preparation for an ultrasonic bath before priming.

I downloaded the soundcar manual but have not programmed the decoder yet. There is a peanut whistle which may approximate the sound. If the caboose is consisted with the loco, and you are in reverse, I wonder if both the loco and caboose whistles sound? Brother d may be able to clarify. As you point out, the Hogger can be some ways away and not know exactly when the train is approaching or entering a crossing.

Leadville has a LOT of crossings, and they are all about five carlengths apart. As I move to operating the layout, how we move through the town safely without spending too much time whistling and upsetting the residents is a question to be reckoned.
