Well not exactly but one of the whistle’s still lives on a Case steam tractor.

I drove it this year but the whistle makes my butthole fall out every time I pulled the chain over the years! The echo off of South Mountain, PA is numbing! I can only envision what 4 of them would have sounded like going over the Rockville Bridge headed to the Horseshoe Curve back in the day in the hood.

Thanks Dave.

All this from a guy that always claims he doesn’t like steam(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)

I don’t!

However I enjoy it as it’s history which I love BUT it’s not my prime choice when it comes to modeling it.

Ric,

That’s my boy over 10yrs ago grabbing the chain !

Now Russell built a badass tractor back in the day !

Awesome! In the first video, what was that weird siren-like sound after the whistle?

Dave, can I get an original copy of that first video and the second? We’re putting the files in our whistle modules. I’ll pm my email.
