I purchased a brass MP-54 whistle some years ago at a train show in Maryland. I visited the Baltimore Streetcar Museum that day and they hooked it up to their shop compressor. It sounded great. Anyone remember what the old Pacific Electric car whistles sounded like out in Los Angeles. It's very similar. Also very similar were the air whistles on the old Philadelphia & Western "Strafford" type cars.I also own a brass Atlantic City & Shore Railroad Co. "Shore Fast Line" whistle, but I have never hooked it up to a compressed air source. But the old car barn { later bus garage } in Atlantic City had one on the roof that they would blow at lunch time every day for the workers. I vividly recall what it sounded like. Also, while on the subject of MP-54's, I understand two ex-PRR MP-54's are in storage on an industrial siding somewhere in North Jersey, along with other rail equipment. I understand the owner of the siding wants the stuff removed ASAP and the group that owns them is looking for a place. |
