While fiddling with my Alisan Shay under the observant eyes of my friend
Ted, he suggested installing a whistle sold by Blue Ridge Machinery under
the cab roof.

Hi, all,
Larry, Gail Graham and I had some exploratory discussions at
Diamondhead about producing an "off-the-shelf" Bangham whistle

We are still talking about ideas, and don't even have a

You too, eh? Yep, "Mimi" is an absolute blast, I can't wait for spring to

locomotive.
See Jim,

Bet we all learned a little!
