    Almost 19 years ago, Bruce Blalock mounted his whistle off an old MKT Pacific onto the restored SP Mikado 786. Here are some recordings of it.

    Not sure what to say about that. It probably had a nice sound on the Katy loco, but the high frequency squeal on the SP loco sort of spoils it. Lots of steam blowing through it, too. Possibly saturated vs. superheated steam? :tb-confused:
