I like all the whistles. Each one has its unique quality. To me, air operated whistles sound different than when operated on steam. But I realize not everyone has a boiler to generate steam in sufficient quantities to operate a steam whistle and test them. Whooo whoooooooo!!!!
Hello Butler Colorado! Some of the whistles were salvaged from decommissioned steam launches. Others were part of trades for engines, boilers and steam launch hulls and full size locomotive bells. A few were purchased on Ebay and usually in need of considerable restoration. Our objective is to get them back in service on a steam launch or 7.5" gauge locomotive. If you get a chance, check out Kitsap Live Steamers and the Northwest Steam Society web pages. Get involved with organizations in your area and "Go Play Outside"! Steam is a great hobby and can be enjoyed by the entire family. If you need additional information getting started in Steam activities be sure to look at the web pages I mentioned.
Whistle #15 sounds a lot like the whistles that were used on Chance Ride's CP Huntington locomotives. It was ultimately changed to something else in the 2010s. However, with the discontinuation of the internal combustion CPH locomotives in favor of electric ones, real whistles are no longer used; instead, the electric ones use audio whistles that play through speakers hidden within the headlight.
Thank you for the compliment! We enjoy repairing old engines, gauges and whistles and getting them back into service. We have several steam launch engines ready to go and a few gauges. Nearly all the whistles shown in the video have found new homes. Parting with them was difficult as you can imagine.
Can you recreate the whistles of famous engines, like the Sierra #3's Lima 5 chime whistle, the Canadian National #3254's old CN step-top 5 chime whistle, the Southern Railway #4501's princeton step-top 3 whistle, and the grand trunk western #4070's whistle and test those?
Larger whistle diameters require more air, yes? Say a Crosby 6" 3-chime like on the Cass & Mower #2. Wondering if I were to have one 3D printed or if I could acquire one, what kind of air tank size and fitting size I would need to work it
You know, I’ve seen many different kinds of whistles, ranging from the hooter to 6 chime, mostly associated with steam locomotives, but never a 2 chime. And what I mean by a 2 chime whistle is not having two separate whistles, but a single whistle with two chimes under its bell. Why is that?
Where could I buy one of these whistles? do you have any tips for good sites? I did a quick search, but could not come up with anything good. Thanks for the great video!
I am currently working on making a steam whistle. I have a few questions regarding what parts ill need, how to control the decibels, and how tuning the whistle works. Any help is appericated.
though it sounded the same, its not the same casting that was used for Her. The one She currently owns is a bit longer and have more stuff going on under it
does the volume increase with greater PSI or are the PSI listed the max rated? train horns (even on steamers) would need to be a lot louder I would think.
Excellent question! Too much air will overcharge the whistles, especially the exhaust type. They work best with about 20-30 lbs air. as they use auto exhaust for power. The Aermores were quite common until electric horns were developed. The trolley whistles often used air at lower pressures. The larger whistles can be heard up to a mile away from the test site. Steam can change the sound a little bit. Not much of a problem unless one is building and tuning a calliope (my next project). We use the exhaust whistles on Carole's 2-4-0 at kitsaplivesteamers.org. They do well with a smaller steam volume that we get with a 1/4" NPT valve and about 70-105 psi saturated steam.
Hello Jacob: We rebuild steamboats and old steam engines. We use our small steam locomotive (TASHA 2-4-0) to carry passengers at kitsaplivesteamers.org. We are trying to find homes for about 40 years of finding parts for the projects we have under way. Go to www.northweststeamsociety.org/classifieds and you will find the items we are selling including the Dean Merrill 3-1/4" x 6" x5" steeple compound engine, all the whistles and Lonergan Gauges. Be careful, this hobby can be habit forming!
working on a severely neglected and abused whistle atm. getting to working and polishing point. What size air compressor do you use? would a small compressor work for hooking up to a whistle?
We used a 5 hp/60 gal. compressor for the testing, but small 1-3 hp with a 3-5 gal tank that will give a couple of cu. ft. of air will work for a small 1.5-2.5" diameter whistle. We tried to keep the pressure and volume of air low as to not overcharge the whistles. The large capacity compressor we have on hand is great for 4-6" whistles and testing and timing steam engines. Best wishes on your project!
Do you have any information on that Canadian Special 3 chime like if any slightly larger ones were built or what the notes the different chambers make?
#8 es Edward #14 es Thomas #15 se parece al de Freddie el Audaz #17 se parece al de Rheneas #18 se parece al de Duncan #23 Peter Sam #25 Sir Handel #27 casi Gordon
i have this idea what if we use these train whistles for thomas characters but we have to choose one of them on the thomas characters if they sound like them (sounding like the the whistles from the T&F
my favorites for my rc steampunk rock crawling truck i want either the #2canadian special or the #24aermore which one should i go for btw im getting dual steam whistles dual power planes the electric motor and the steam engines you can get for rc's
Hello! I believe we found it with a group of whistles being sold on ebay. All the whistles you see are for sale at www.northweststeamsociety.org/classifieds. We are still trying to find homes where our items will get placed in service. As mentioned below, we rebuild steam engines, gauges, whistles, bells, steam launches and on and on...We just finished a riding car for passengers who use wheelchairs (manual as well as motorized) for our 7.5" gauge railroad www.kitsaplivesteamers.org. Will have a video soon. Finished a 15" bronze bell today and plan to do a video tomorrow. ua-cam.com/video/YToD_H_gcmI/v-deo.html shows the 12" bell we refurbished and sold last year. Best Regards, Teddy
Would it be okay to use the recording in this video of the Westinghouse 1 chime for a project? I use a train simulator that doesn't have any realistic trolley whistles, and want to know if it's okay if I use the audio from this video to create a whistle asset to share with the general public. PS: Loved the massive variety of whistles here! You must've done some amazing work getting all these in shape!
Absolutely! We have found homes for nearly all the whistles featured. Now we are working on a calliope and hope to have her done by Fall. Which Westinghouse do you favor?
@@flyingblossom I'll confess I'm most partial to the first Westinghouse in the video (No. 17)- it sounds ever so slightly less harsh than the one that follows it, but maybe it's just my imagination!

That’s because it is
Blue Diamond not it's american not british!
Ok
Omg it does!!!
3:21
or Tillie’s.
#27, the Powell 3-chime 4x10 was probably my favorite. Closest to the locomotives I love most that use Lunkenheimer, Crosby, and Powell 6" whistles.
6:19 makes an impressive James whistle.
Funny, he used to have a 3-chime...
4:14 #10 sounds like that of a Bulleid Pacific.
To me it sounds like a. Stephenson rocket
10:05 that steam whistle sounds like Steven the antec engine from Thomas and friends.
4:14 sounds like Stephen’s whistle from Thomas and Friends
TigerBoi87 because it is
Lol
it isnt
The actual stephenson rocket didn't have ut
5:17 sounds like bells whistle 😀
3:20 fun fact:
that whistle is the origin of edward henry and percy’s whistles from thomas and friends
No, the whistle sounds were made on synth
@@TheWarbonnet660 Not all of them.
What of that 1 "Old Steam Whistle" from S6 E12 "Scaredy Engines"?
@@karenfan010 yes, later seasons used real whistles. The whistle in Scaredy Engines was a hooter whistle
1:31 Sir Handel’s whistle

#8 whistle sounds identical to Edward's from Thomas and friends!!!!!!😍
I agree
Thats because it is most likely the whistle the cast used for him
More like persys
P!KXCHU you don't even know the show!
Yes
6:40 sounds like shindler's list train whistle
Yes and also sounds like the Lbscr E2 the original basic for Thomas the tank engine
5:22 I like this whistle too!

Nice low tones on # 1 and #2 .
# 13 has a very nice tone
2:49 Thomas and the magic railroad.
You have quite the collection of whistles right there! I'm envious!
Thank you for the compliment! We enjoy repairing old engines, gauges and whistles and getting them back into service. We have several steam launch engines ready to go and a few gauges. Nearly all the whistles shown in the video have found new homes. Parting with them was difficult as you can imagine.
@@flyingblossom I'll say. I'd be satisfied with at least one of those whistles. They sound fantastic! Also, I adore the shape o a good steam whistle!
My favorite is #27. It sounds good on steam and air
1:30 Sir Handel’s whistle slowed down Duncan’s whistle High pitched
3:20 what if you can slap that on a furness k2 and paint the engine blue and red with a painted number 2 on his tender?
That’s Edward
yeah thanks captain obvious
4:45 It almost sounds llike Thomas’s whistle!
It does a little
But Thomas' whistle is a one chime...
@@jtg55 I thought thomas whistle was a 3 chime and your correct since the whistles has an open part meaning that is the onc chime
Tails 64 thomas’ whistle is a no chime, it’s a bell whistle
Bell whistles (or plain whistles) have only one chime.
(16.Jun.2020)
*03:13* Sounds like Edward's whistle
It is Edward's Whistle
7:42 Sounds like whistle sound of Tokyo Metro Ginza Line Series 1000 or Fukutoshin Line Series 7000, 10000

No, the whistle sounds like Thomas
It sounds exactly like Henry’s whistle
@Westley Sagner which of ivatt's various designs? They have hooter whistles that squeak to sound like that, normally they are more akin to 17 or 18
True and could be for an e2
It doesn't sound like any ttte character I actually know the show!

The Lunkenheimer 1-chime whistle #15 sounds exactly like Spencer’s whistle.
I didn't know steam whistles could work without a locomotive!
BTW, I heard Emily's whistle in this vid. Try to find that whistle sound.
Where could I buy one of these whistles? do you have any tips for good sites? I did a quick search, but could not come up with anything good. Thanks for the great video!
where did you get all them

though it sounded the same, its not the same casting that was used for Her. The one She currently owns is a bit longer and have more stuff going on under it
I'm looking into getting one for my semi but i dont know how it would sound. Wish i could hear the one in looking at
3 looks like Douglas's whistle from Thomas and Friends
I think it does sound like his whistle
The first one is Chugseys (my OC) whistle
does the volume increase with greater PSI or are the PSI listed the max rated? train horns (even on steamers) would need to be a lot louder I would think.

3:48 sounds like the more normal Thomas whistle
It sounds a bit like Stanley
2:24 Sounds like Day out with Thomas Percy’s Whistle
Would the steam pressure used originally make them sound different than the air compressor?
I LOVE THIS!!!! I thought I would never come across this! Mini whistles but they sound big and have a nice sound!! Where did you get them!?!? :O :D :D

Bruh It doesn't to me Have you even heard her whistle on air before
3:19 Edward, 9:13 Stephen 5:13 Emily we have the engines of Sodor here.
If I were to choose, number 20 would be me.

Nice benchmarking
The Emco-Wheaton 1-chime sounds exactly like Stephen’s whistle.
My faves are: 6 15
i have this idea what if we use these train whistles for thomas characters but we have to choose one of them on the thomas characters if they sound like them (sounding like the the whistles from the T&F
Imagine if we were able to recreate Thomas's actual whistle
You can with pitch shifting and layering.
i love the deeper ones ❤
my favorites for my rc steampunk rock crawling truck i want either the #2canadian special or the #24aermore which one should i go for btw im getting dual steam whistles
dual power planes the electric motor and the steam engines you can get for rc's
Is it just me or does then Emco-Wheaton 1-Chime sound a lot like Stephen’s whistle?
