Is there a sound decoder for a gas electric doodlebug?

I have two Bachmann gas electric doodlebugs. Does anyone make a sound decoder with a gas electric sound file?

Might look at this....

... I haven't had the time myself (just found it and it is supper time) but am also interested since I have a couple of them.  I don't see a sample sound file right off but maybe there is one somewhere,

Think that file is litterally, the newest added as of now.

Yep but looks like this morning they added one more (for a crane).

I found one link that suggests that the sound file for the WGN Doodlebug is diesel and not gas from this link....

https://heritagerail.org/2015/04/wisconsin-great-northern/

... as they say the body was place on an entirely new underframe powered by a diesel-hydraulic drive. In the following video you can see the exhaust and it seems to be a large diameter exhausted pipe like what you normally associate with a diesel engine...


I'm wondering if there is a gas sound file out there somewhere that could be made to work. 

I'm modeling UP (very loosely) and the Doodlebugs would of been gas as far as I can tell.  So far I've got a LokPilot installed in one .....

Would like to install a sound decoder in it or another one I have but think for the time being I'll pass on this one.  If someone does use it please post a video with sound and maybe EXU will be adding one also.
