Jawn Henry sound system, real Turbine sound,

For those not acquainted with the Swedish turbine locos; they are 0-8-0's, with the turbines mounted on the pilot deck, in front of the smokebox.? The drive is via crankshafts, similar to N&W's electrics.? Not big locos, but certainly the longest lived of all the RR turbine experiments.

Hello

Here is a real sound from a Swedish Steamturbine locomotive
It is direct driven by gears as the PRy 6-8-6- turbine locomotive.

Can mention 3 of those still exists today at a Museum.

Hopes it is to some help..

I know this isn't terribly helpful, but what did the Jawn Henry sound
like? Any chance it might be similar to the UP turbines? If so, are
there sound decoders available for them now that Athearn is making them?
