Gday  Bob,All

Sadly no.AFAIK,all the BTH motors got Double Helical gears but 407 at BTM
has 265D with DH gears as well as 249 at Loftus but the famous BTH howl,
a mumble at low speed, is still just just hearable,better than nothing

BTH spur geared W2s accelerating is one of the best traction sounds EVER
Gee I miss driving them and 433 at Camberwell was the best of the lot

IMHO the best transport sounds are,not in any order,the 38 loco,BTH motors
and Merlin engines

Cheers,    Mick, sobbing about things lost,esp Thomsons
