RE: [CBQ] Digest Number 5429[2 Attachments]

I have the same whistle - that I bought four or five years ago.  Didn't pay quite that much for it.  It DOES have the curved handle.  I've been looking - but haven't found any numbers that look like they would identify the locomotive it came from - but would love to know.

Louis, in reference to your question about the CB&Q whistle for sale right now on Ebay and the handle, that's the second handle I've seen like that. I used to own a CB&Q 5-chime that had a similar handle on it and my whistle supposedly came out of Colorado. I don't know if this was a C&S thing or not but mine did not have the number stamped on it. My current CB&Q steptop does not have this style of handle.

Nice whistle, kind of pricey though.

Thanks,
Dan

I've never seen a Q locomotive number stamped onto the whistle lever. Plus,
I've never seen a "curved" lever. Does any one have an image of the 5602
where you can see such a curved lever? - Louis
