You could give Larry a call at 714-521-6254
I think he has a two chime whistle for K-27
You could also get a hold of Ron Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] the owner of
Steam in the Garden Magazines to get the back issues on how to put it all
together.
Hope this helps

Chad,
What sort of whistle did you install in the K-27? I am used to seeing steam
come from a whistle mounted low or under the engine. This one looks like it
is on top.

Is the whistle listed here the one mentioned earlier as being shrill?
I doubt it. That listing is for Ozark Miniatures detail parts, which as far
as I know don't make any noise. But then again, they could be so

Looks like PM research stuff; good kits. I think a whistle of that size
would just deplete your boiler in no time. With our little boilers we seem
to have to a bit conservative with our steam supply.

Blue Ridge is selling the PMR whistle, I have one and used it on thier
vertical boiler, nice sound and toots on really low pressure. Loud on 25
Lbs pressure. The valve does not leak. Will need to be hidden between the
frame or under a side tank. I have the smallest Coles whistle and not very
Interesting alternative, but if you haven't seen Bangham's design, I
think you'll be surprised. The Blue Ridge whistle is huge, in
comparison to a gauge 1 locomotive. He gets a realistic pitch (not an
ultrasonic dog whistle) from a very small package, using a resonator
to tune the pitch. He
a commercialized larry bangham whistle (i.e.: one even an idiot such
as myself could install) will be a hot item (sorry for the pun). the
whistle larry put into steve hessleton's c-16 is fabulous.
further, a pre-built bangham whistle would give me something i'm
finding is extremely helpful

Thank you Eric. Turns out there is not nearly as much room in there as I thought.
Have to come up with a plan B. Maybe a very thin battery and a micro switch where

I have never heard of anyone doing this. A whistle is a restricted outlet
and putting one on the exhaust of a safety valve defeats some of its
effectivity. The safety valve serves an important purpose and better left
alone to do its job. Besides you could have an annoying constantly
