Re: [CBQ] Two Questions

["Scott Myers myers.scottv@gmail.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Very interesting Louis, and helpful to those of us trying to determine what whistle to use for the sound decoders in our steam locomotive models.  Other than switchers as opposed to "road" locomotives, I had wrongly assumed that all steam locomotives of a particular era used the same whistle.  What whistles did a 4-6-2 , 4-6-4, 2-10-2 and 2-10-4 use?

Noel - I can't answer your first question, but I can the second, FIVE. The following Wales West whistle blow video is a little dated (I'm now quite a bit grayer), but will show you what an O-5 whistle looks like:

No doubt my whistles would've sounded a lot better with 200 psi steam, but this will give you an idea.... These two Q steam whistles were pretty much standardized on most classes. Best Regards - Louis

First question is: What color were the Q's 36 and 40 stock cars painted? Were they Chinese Red?

Second Question: How many chimes were the 0-5 whistles?

Thanks Much
