I never seen let alone a A4 fitted with a different whistle that wasn’t a chime till now in 2:32
A4 with southern whistle 😂
i wasn’t expecting that either 🤣 but i do want to see if A4 Kingfisher’s chime whistle survives into the preservation like other A4 whistles too
This is the closest weve ever got to accuratley representing an A4 during WW2 in preservation, just needed diferent lettering and a higher pitched bell whistle
should have kept the sparrowhawk whistle, so much power behind 2:02
Southern whistle is cute on an a4 makes it seem more playful rather than with the chime whistle it sounds more fierce
these are great, are they the original pre-war whistles?
Sounds like it. The pre-war chime whistles sounded slightly deeper than the post-war chimes. This is most likely a pre-war chime. The pre-war chimes were said to have a tone very similar to that of an air raid siren, so these are likely the prewar whistles
1:50 sounds like that one whistle stock sound effect from cartoons
Is there any way to seal the leak in the piping leading to the whistle? It must be a pain for the crew to see through that at speed.
I don't believe it's a leak from wear and tear or from any damages, I think the steam coming off the pipes on the sides were intentionally designed in such a manner. Can check out other footages of the A4s, all seemed to have steam coming out the side pipes when the white is sounded
Can I use this as an sfx for sum of my vids?
That was awesome hearing these whistles. By the way did you get Dominion Of New Zealand's whistle because that particular A4 was fitted with an Ex-NZR whistle. 🤩
@@TheSudrianTerrier653i wonder how that would sound on an A4
GVR sent over a NZR K whistle for that A4 that was done up as Dominion of New Zealand but the group never used it and sent it back to us

2:32 that A4 should keep that whistle
