Anyone have any ideas where to look for drawings or info about Star Brass' long bell 6 chime whistle?

I would like to know about any multichime blue prints that are out there, if you come across any let me know, please-perhaps we can share aquisition costs. I'm especially interested in any that were Lehigh Valley or Central Railroad of New Jersey-if any exist. I think I read somewhere

As an aside, there were recently several blue prints for sale on EBay. I bid on one, but was "sniped". After contacting the seller-he said he'd make a copy prior to mailing to winning bidder-if I receive it (its a private deal now off Ebay-so I'm on the honor system)-I'd like to make it available in digital format (especially to anybody in a position to make a replica).

Superheater,
You must have ESPN, as you read my mind. The specific whistle information and/or demensions that still eludes me, is the Star 6 Chime that was used on the CNJ G-3a's for Blue Comet service. I forget where found what whistle they used on these engines, but it came up a couple of times as this model. See link to pick form NE Rails for look at whisltle on CNJ 831 @ Jersey City
