Post subject: | M-K-T whistle sound |
Ran across this video of an M-K-T steam whistle being used on a steam excursion. A different sounding whistle indeed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw_a526-X7A On another board, a person with musical background described the M-K-T three-chime whistle as follows: "Two long chambers and one extremely short chamber. The two long chambers have a sweet major third combined with a concert 7th blown by the tiny chamber." Has anyone run across a photo of one of these Katy whistles online? Would be interesting to see one. |

It is a distinctive sound. I'll accept any whistle on a working steam loco. |

The whistle was mounted on SP 786 for a weekend of trips. I was the fireman on the Sunday trip, and fanned the Saturday run. Once I heard the whistle, I had a STRONG urge to lay off that Sunday. The whistle is owned by Bruce Blaylock, and he was the engineer on both days. Later on, we found the whistle had a cracked chamber and I don't think it has been blown since. |
