RE: [CBQ] Re: Question regarding CB&Q 5-chime steptop locomotive whistles

["Daniel Decker" <kansasrailfan@cox.net>]

I do hope to find a place to sound this whistle once I'm through, we have a
bonafide steam operation here in Kansas now with the splendid work up in
Abilene on a former ATSF pacific there.  Not a Q engine, but live steam and
maybe I can talk them into operating with either my Q whistle or my Rock
Island one some day.  Till then, does anyone have any recordings of these Q
whistles to share?

 

Thanks again,
Dan

Dan,

Once you finish, are you going to find some place to connect to 250# 
of super heated steam to see if it works? I know there is at least 
one group of collectors that does a whistle demonstration 
occasionally. I think the site of the demonstration is located near 
Mobile, AL.
