Hi
This is from a 16-567 roots-blower engine
Can you tell me which notch is this? I’d say 6, but I’m not sure

thanks
nobody has any experience with 567 engines? I’m suprized, there engineers here that operated a lot of them
Ahh…the sweet sound of a 567! Brings back fond memories.
Sorry, not an expert but I spent a lot of time as a teen and young adult around SCL locomotives. Tape recorded quite a few.
An impressive “sound show” was seeing and hearing SCL EMD SW9 switchers pulling local runs here in Tampa back around 1977 (sometimes 30 cars long!!) at full throttle. They were loud!
5 or 6 or 7
Finally some replies, thanks guys
Yea, nothing sounds as crispy and rugged as a 567 engine chug, specially when it notches up.
Has a really crunchy, primitive quality compared to more modern EMD’s
Too bad they are dissapearing, not just in US, but elsewhere where they were soled in the world.
Exept maybe India and such countreys in Asia
As for the notches, well it really doesn’t narow it down much, I suspected as much, I bet there are folks around here who can tell it exactly.
Hmmm. Just MHO, but the 567 sound is more of a “chant” than a “chug”. For deep, chest pounding “CHUGs” it’s hard to beat GE U-Boats. At full throttle you could hear them coming miles away!
You can still catch U-Boats on the GC railroad in Georgia.
It sounds like either 4 or 5.
It’s not deafing so that would nix 7 and 8.
It’s not going up hill.
It does sound like it’s simply cruising flat ground with a light load.
