Steam Whistle Testing Using Compressor
After repairs and adjustments, several models and styles of steam and trolley whistles are tested using an air compressor and a test platform. Repeated testing is an essential step in making whistles ready to use before returning to service with steam. Whistles are from steam launches, 7.5” gauge and narrow gauge plantation/logging locomotives. Several examples of early automobile exhaust whistles are added. Safety gear included ear plugs and earmuffs.

I like all the whistles. Each one has its unique quality. To me, air operated whistles sound different than when operated on steam. But I realize not everyone has a boiler to generate steam in sufficient quantities to operate a steam whistle and test them. Whooo whoooooooo!!!!
Here are all the timestamps for the whistles: 0:14 - #1 Beckmann 4-chime 0:45 - #2 Canadian special 3-chime 1:19 - #3 U.K. Special 1-chime 1:55 - #4 Kinsley 4-chime (Apparently, there's no 5th whistle in the video) 2:24 - #6 Lunkenheimer 1-chime 2:46 - #7 Plated Nickel 3-chime 3:12 - #8 Lunkenheimer 1-chime (sounds a lot like Edwards whistle) 3:46 - #9 Kinsley 4-chime Nickel on brass 4:13 - #10 Emco-Wheaton 1-chime 4:43 - #11 Lunkenheimer 3-chime 5:17 - #12 Lunkenheimer 1-chime 5:47 - #13 Lunkenheimer 3-chime 6:16 - #14 Lunkenheimer 3-chime 6:44 - #15 Lunkenheimer 1-chime 7:13 - #16 Lunkenheimer 1-chime 7:42 - #17 Westinghouse Trolley 1-chime 8:11 - #18 Westinghouse Trolley 1-chime (Also no number 19 whistle) 8:37 - #20 POWELL Round Top 3-chime 9:06 - #21 Lunkenheimer 1-chime 9:34 - #22 POWELL Round Top 3-chime 9:59 - #23 POWELL Flat Top 1-chime 10:30 - #24 Aermore Brass Exhaust 4-chime 10:55 - #25 Nickel on Brass Exhaust 5-chime 11:21 - #26 "Little Toot" 4-chime Nickel on Brass Exhaust 11:41 - #27 POWELL 3-chime I have no idea why so many of these names keep repeating.

Hello Butler Colorado! Some of the whistles were salvaged from decommissioned steam launches. Others were part of trades for engines, boilers and steam launch hulls and full size locomotive bells. A few were purchased on Ebay and usually in need of considerable restoration. Our objective is to get them back in service on a steam launch or 7.5" gauge locomotive. If you get a chance, check out Kitsap Live Steamers and the Northwest Steam Society web pages. Get involved with organizations in your area and "Go Play Outside"! Steam is a great hobby and can be enjoyed by the entire family. If you need additional information getting started in Steam activities be sure to look at the web pages I mentioned.

Whistle #15 sounds a lot like the whistles that were used on Chance Ride's CP Huntington locomotives. It was ultimately changed to something else in the 2010s. However, with the discontinuation of the internal combustion CPH locomotives in favor of electric ones, real whistles are no longer used; instead, the electric ones use audio whistles that play through speakers hidden within the headlight.

Larger whistle diameters require more air, yes? Say a Crosby 6" 3-chime like on the Cass & Mower #2. Wondering if I were to have one 3D printed or if I could acquire one, what kind of air tank size and fitting size I would need to work it

Can you recreate the whistles of famous engines, like the Sierra #3's Lima 5 chime whistle, the Canadian National #3254's old CN step-top 5 chime whistle, the Southern Railway #4501's princeton step-top 3 whistle, and the grand trunk western #4070's whistle and test those?
Where could I buy one of these whistles? do you have any tips for good sites? I did a quick search, but could not come up with anything good. Thanks for the great video!
i love the deeper ones ❤

I didn't know steam whistles could work without a locomotive! BTW, I heard Emily's whistle in this vid. Try to find that whistle sound.
Would the steam pressure used originally make them sound different than the air compressor?

Hello Jacob: We rebuild steamboats and old steam engines. We use our small steam locomotive (TASHA 2-4-0) to carry passengers at kitsaplivesteamers.org. We are trying to find homes for about 40 years of finding parts for the projects we have under way. Go to www.northweststeamsociety.org/classifieds and you will find the items we are selling including the Dean Merrill 3-1/4" x 6" x5" steeple compound engine, all the whistles and Lonergan Gauges. Be careful, this hobby can be habit forming!
does the volume increase with greater PSI or are the PSI listed the max rated? train horns (even on steamers) would need to be a lot louder I would think.

Excellent question! Too much air will overcharge the whistles, especially the exhaust type. They work best with about 20-30 lbs air. as they use auto exhaust for power. The Aermores were quite common until electric horns were developed. The trolley whistles often used air at lower pressures. The larger whistles can be heard up to a mile away from the test site. Steam can change the sound a little bit. Not much of a problem unless one is building and tuning a calliope (my next project). We use the exhaust whistles on Carole's 2-4-0 at kitsaplivesteamers.org. They do well with a smaller steam volume that we get with a 1/4" NPT valve and about 70-105 psi saturated steam.

We used a 5 hp/60 gal. compressor for the testing, but small 1-3 hp with a 3-5 gal tank that will give a couple of cu. ft. of air will work for a small 1.5-2.5" diameter whistle. We tried to keep the pressure and volume of air low as to not overcharge the whistles. The large capacity compressor we have on hand is great for 4-6" whistles and testing and timing steam engines. Best wishes on your project!
