You know what, I take that back. I love these german steam trains! Some of their whistles sound sort of like our American single chime hooter whistles!
@@cameronflores4209 the N&W M class had 8 inch hooter whistles. N&W M class 475 had an 8 inch hooter a few years ago and it sounded pretty close to the whistles in this video.
I live in Leipzig and i used to hear such a whistle sometimes (i think it was from the BR52-which currently stands at our main station-doing a museum ride or something) it was a beautiful sound. Sadly i havent heard that sound for years now. I dont know if they just stopped to do those museum rides or if some idiots complained about it being too noisy so they were forced to not whistle anymore
German Steam Locomotive ar my fav engines, i grew Up in Germany and i Love them AS i was a litte Kid. Well the Harzer Schmalspurbahn BC thats my fav place
I think so At a Railway Crossing Traindrivers usually have to whistle about 2 to 3 seconds. I mean thats the rule. Normally Traindrivers whistle about 1 to 1.5 Seconds😉🤷♂️
The locomotives are using their whistle to warn car drivers. The train drivers flute at depart and at a rail crossing, and not all the videos are in Germany some are in the neteherlands at a museum train what have much German locomotives.
Usually yes. Its not like in the US where u whistle like an eternity before a crossing. The comb before a crossing is the long low, then louder and a bit short is standart like u hear in the vid
It seems that America is one of if not the only nation that extensively used multi-chime whistles on its locomotives. Germany and the U.K. opted for almost exclusively single chime whistles. Is there a reason for this, or was America just special?
Heaps of other countries used multi-chime whistles, some Asian countries have them (Japan and China are good examples) and so does my home country, Australia. I’m sure there’s plenty of other countries I haven’t looked into yet that have multi-chime whistles on their locomotives.
I know that many Asian and Pacific countries used chime whistles extensively. Japan, China, Russia, Australia, and New Zealand are some well known examples of countries that used American-style chime whistles.
I like that the German steam trains aren't babied and simply just museum pieces, but rather used quite often.
absolutely it's amazing
german engines are just happy little tooters
These are the most beautiful sounding whistles in the world
You obviously haven’t heard Daylight’s current whistle.
Yall should hear 1225's hancock 3 chime
Bulleid hooters, LNER chimes at speed...
One thing German whistles have is a haunting quality
The 6 Chimes mate-
1:33 - 1:35
Truck: ey!
Steam: Guten Tag!
Lmao
0:39 Rails unlimited used this one for german freight DZ class
Finally someone else realize that!

they are beautiful like the our N&W Class A whistle
i bet you would enjoy a ride on one of those steam engines to a nice camp
Sounds more like an N&W m class to be honest.
@@SouRwy4501Productions more so a Hooter whistle

Are you sure you ain’t thinking of the N&W’s 8 Inch Hooter? #1218 has a 12 Inch Hooter.

2:17 why does the whistle sound different than normal?
It usually sounds like that when to much water is trapped inside the whistle. / or snow.
that is what the whistle is for,,super lovely
Curious to know how German (and other European) whistle signals differ from those here in the States.
They don't whistle at crossings, like American locomotives do. That's one thing I know. I'm not sure about whistle signals, though.
Here in the US, we have a standard code of whistle signals and patterns. Is there such a code for Germany?
I think so

Great collection :)
Best hooter whistles
They sound just like peter Sam’s whistle in Thomas and friends
Even though I’m not a fan of German steam locomotives, they got some nice sounding whistles.
1:52 the whistle squeak killed me 😂
German steam Loco whistle is special sounds savage yet musical with short high pitched whistle like a loud hiss.
excellent,,thank you
is like every train has his accent :)
awesome
All of these whistles all sound the same as 475’s hooter whistle.
because they're all 1 chimes.
475's 8" hooter whistle that is.
Cool video.
You really should hear the sound of the old pipes of the 10 001 and 002. Those sound more like the Americans.
That was beautiful! CHOO CHOO!!! :D

These sound like 4-4-0 locomotives.
imagine 475 got a german hooter, i think some people may mistake it for her 8 inch hooter
I’m working on a model railway series that includes a Deutsche Reichsbahn Br.80. Could I use some of the whistle recordings in this video for it?
My dream is actually to blow a whistle and my dreams gonna be come out very soon cuz ik going to the vsm and ask or I can
Are all German whistles hooters?
Reminds me of a shay's whistle
2:07 3:50
8” hooters?
Precisely.
0:24 that's a creepy whistle
It’s a normal whistle
Completely normal tho
Wolf whistle😎
Well this is my oppinion I like German and british steam locos more than American because I’m from the uk
Sounds familiar
Your Rainbow Sun?
German Steam engines have more atmospheric whistles.
Given how old these locos are I can’t help but wonder if any of them were also used for...other purposes.
I know you are wondering but maybe dont bring that up here?
Jaeh as a german i know what you mean and i dont like it...
um yeah bad but its not the locomotives fault the can be used for both good and bad purposes
@Wilhelm Bengtsson uuuh bad purposes
steriotypes!
My last trip to Augustberg the train conductor perfectly played an old black song intro😂
Sounds like a Wolf😎😎😎😎😎
Next stop Warsaw
