Another distinctive brake system sound was of the R-68s when they were new. Instead of a tailing-off whistle at startup like the 46s, the R-68s would begin with a rush of air that tailed off into a high pitched constant whistle, sort of like, TSHHHHHhhhhhh-FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, followed by the compressor cycling on with a TSSSH-tsh! and cycling off with a short HEE! Why were their brakes modified so early in their service life? I remember that the GOHd R-10s also had a similar compressor sound setup, but the brake system sound was classic. I thought to myself, "Stupid R-10 trying to be an R-68. Tsk tsk tsk." |
