whistles

[NW Mailing List]

I get what you're saying, but there is no reason it would have to be 611.  Unless boiler pressure has an affect on whistle tone, any steam engine could be used to that purpose.  It wouldn't even have to be a railroad locomotive.  If they haven't tried something similar already, this would be an excellent way to provide new, accurate recordings for sound decoders.
