Current 611 whistle?

[NW Mailing List]

Larry: 
There is a reason why this question has come up. Scale Trains is producing the HO N&W J in 5 versions. ESU Lok Sound has recorded the sounds from the current N&W 611 as of late that will be used on the model and they want to make sure that the current whistle is a J whistle. Therefore it is important to know that the 50’s version will have the correct sounds. So is the current whistle a correct whistle or not?

There is no such thing as a J class whistle. They are all standard three chime Hancocks used on the J class E2 K2 K2a classes UP big boys challengers many other roads used them  . I think the current whistle actually came from the UP and is owned by Scott Lindsay. The N&W modified the bowls and valves in 1953 to make them a little heavier duty that is the only difference.  As far as Scott needing to weigh In here, don’t you think he’s a little tired of answering this question. It comes up on the Internet once or twice a month and it’s been answered on this list dozens of times.

I bet all of that whistle model was cast from the same pattern.
