Somebody was asking about what a Doodlebug sounded like a little while ago. I ran across this vid. About the 4 minute mark they show one starting up and running.

Loathar, I believe the thing in the video is a Galloping Goose? Still a cool-sounding machine though! [:P]
Don’t want model sounds? If you want to hear what a real doodlebug sounds like, go to this site:

That site also links up to more doodlebug recordings.

That’s what I meant. (I’m an idiot![:P]) I wonder if that’s the BLI? I love the start up sound!
Mark- Cool video! I searched around the tube and couldn’t find any. Guess I wasn’t using the right key words.
Here is another one. Better than the last. It is of the same doodlebug but there are recordings of drive-bys, plus a short segment of inside-the-cab shots. There is even one where the camera is at tie level between the rails and the doodlebug passes over the camera. No annoying yak-yak of people either.

Loather, all you needed to do was search on something like “railroad doodlebug video.” Sounds obvious now. It is amazing what is available on the internet!

Thanks for that Guys. [bow]
I did a search for just Doodlebug. Didn’t know that was some kind of kiddy show character!
