Does anyone remember the old Disney movie, "Flubber"? Fred McMurray had a model "T" that ran (somehow) on flubber and was silent, so he made a little wooden electric box to mimic the sound of the engine so nobody got suspicious. That got me thinking about how to get the old engine sound back: I wonder if anyone has any high-quality recordings of the old engines. With a nice sound system you could play it over some loudspeakers so it has that old classic sound. Hey, you could play the theme to "Titanic".
But maybe that's a little tacky.
I wonder what the benefit would be if a few masts could be installed so it could make part of the trip under sail. Maybe that'll be the next generation...
