I have another tube whistle, a 6-chime that sits on a 5" diameter Lunkenheimer base. It is the crudest thing you ever saw, with brass tubes and regular pipe...
A whistle certainly doesn't have to look good to sound good. One of my favorite sounding whistles of all time was a very plain looking cast iron 3 chime...
It's not really about how good it looks or what it's made of, the sound is all in how well it is made; this involves proper tuning, adherence to tolerances and...
There are those of us who have witnessed the demise of the steam whistle over the period of our lifetime. There can be no denying that steam whistles have gone...
... An interesting idea, but where can the steam whistle perform a useful function in the 21st century? Factories? Not likely, since just about every new...
Primarily in any application where air horns or sirens are currently in use. That would include locomotives, towboats, seagoing vessels, community warning,...
And Richard, what about power plants and oil refineries ? Ron "Richard J. Weisenberger" <rjweis00@...> wrote: Primarily in any application where air...
The applications for whistles in the 21st Century are limited only by your imagination, as they no longer need be the inefficient sound producers that the...
Don't worry. We can make it happen, as we have all the "tools" to do it. Oddly enough it was my interest in helping restore a large WurliTzer theatre pipe...
Sadly, this has been the case with both the Delta Queen and Mississippi Queen. They have added horns in addition to their whistles. More often you are hearing...
I am looking for the 5x10 whistle to a lunkenheimer branch (3) whistle. I added a photo if you want to look at the manafold and one of the two whistles, that...
... I've taken a look at the manifold, and would guess this is what Lunkenheimer called their Size number 2, with the brass bells, iron bowls, and cast iron...
That's a nice patina on that whistle! It appears you only have one of three whistles on your manifold. Do you also have the other? What's the size of the...
... Okay, as I understand it, there is a viable and competitive sound signal available right now. That would be the "Ultrawhistle," which has been available...

I have only my prototype. It's not like I haven't tried to sell them. My business partner in this venture is the former Director of DES for the State of...
Peter, looking at the Creeping Myrtle ( ground cover plant ) as well as leaves on the ground, the spacing between the whistles would be prohibitive for an 8"...
Mark, Nathan mentioned in his original message of Aug 22 that the remains of the whistle include an eight and a six. I would think to complete the set he needs...
What are the pipe thread sizes on the manifold (including the main inlet)? There may be a clue here as to the correct whistle sizes by comparing inlet...
I attached some more photos with my measurements. The manifold does have a #3 on it. The inside diameter of the whistle attached is aproximately 5 3/4". the...
Now that we know that the main inlet to the manifold is 2", I vote that it has to be for a Lunkenheimer size #2 (3.5", 4", 5" whistles). The flow requirements...

If photo DSCN1669 was of the central port, it would be for a size #3. I was under the assumption that it was of the main inlet to the manifold. It would make a...
Hello sounds like He needs a 5" whistle ?? If that is right contact the man on Ebay that sells the 3 single note whistles as he can make you a 5" single. Matt...
Looking for a GOOD audio clip of PRR K4 3 chime whistle. Anybody got a good clip to share? From what I've heard it's a great sounding whistle. I'm kinda...
The measurements are in the 1930 Locomotive Cylopedia. As you probably know, it is just a PRR whistle. The K-4 part of it is realy misleading. Other ...
Richard, You are correct. The schematics for the PRR 3 chime are in the 1952 LOCOMOTIVE CYCLOPEDIA as well. And, as one listens to all the recordings, and if...
I went thru my whistle book (Richard Carter) and found that I have measurements for a PRR 3 chime D-16, and PRR 3 chime Passenger (3 different versions)..all...
