Lanquid plate to the bowl were not concentric. So if you recut the bowl a new plate has to be made. How did you determine what the opening between the bowl and plate had to be. Then as the bowl get larger and plate gets larger does this affect the sound of the whistle? Also the steam exiting the opening between the plate and bowl is directed up into the bells. With a slightly larger diameter does this affect the steam direction into the bells and then the sound?

Job well done to all involved. It's to bad they don't allow making duplicates of some of the steam whistles. It could be great revenue for historic railroads. I mean majority of the surviving steam locomotives rely on donations to begin with to keep them in good condition for operating.

Nope, all of the 2900s all had 6 chimes made by LFM. But the 3751 actually had a 5 chime when she was restored and it was swapped out around the late 90s for the long bell ATSF 6 chime that is currently on her.

It was recovered, and sounded. But it was sounded on compressed air and not steam as it was feared steam would damage it. A replica would have to be made if someone wanted to blow it on steam, although it would most likely sound like any other Smith Hyson super whistle.
@railsrust

@@TrainsAreReallyCool Not really necessary anyways. Kahlenberg made a replica of Titanic's whistle, and Mauretania's whistle survived on a factory and is still in great shape in a seemingly private museum. Also, if I recall, not all of the Smith Hyson whistles were the same (I could be wrong here.) Supposedly the other sets that weren't on the quad-stackers were smaller and didn't sound the same... I'm not 100% on that. That's what a collector trying to buy one told me once. I guess the only way to know would be to measure Normandie's whistle to compare. Or run recordings in a program to figure out the tones.
