Homemade Boiler-Tube version Santa Fe 6 Chime Steam Whistle

I built this under the guidance of Jordan Cavinee from 2" steel pipe. The bowl is an MD Whistles product from my Hancock 3 Chime whistle. In this video, it was blown on 175psi air pressure. I will blow it on steam in November in Youngstown Ohio. Video to follow.

[@moderatemixed8410]

Do you have rough dimensions and a few up close pics for those of us who'd like to give making one a try?

sounds great

[@kb3mzw]

+bbjimbo Thank you!

[@jefreno666]

do you have any plans available so I could construct my own? thanks!

[@kb3mzw]

Unfortunately I don't have any official plans for this. I just kinda built it as I went along with it so to speak. I can tell you I used 2" black steel pipe and cut each chamber to the lengths provided by the Santa Fe railroad 6 chime whistle drawings "which you can google by the way", and gave each chime tube a 45 degree angled cut on the bottoms and welded steel caps on the tops. Then I welded them all together in a honeycomb style "looking at it from the top or bottom", all around a center tube of the same material which is what the threaded rod goes through to mount to a provided whistle bowl. I didn't make the bowl, it's an MD replica from my Hancock 3 chime. Hope that helped. Good luck with your build!

[@khriscamacho1212]

What notes are being sounded?

[@JasonSchaedlerVideos]

What kind of compressor do you use to fill your air tank? And what kind of tanks would you suggest?

[@kb3mzw]

Mine is an 80 gallon up to 170psi and in this video I hooked up a 40 gallon propane tank to the compressor tank for more storage and to mount the whistle directly

[@Graulas]

poor neighbors

[@bracsim]

are they available for sale, can you make another one ?

[@kb3mzw]

I'm afraid at this time I don't have the spare time available to build these for customers. Sorry. However if I ever do, I'll put them out there for sale

[@SierraRailway]

Where can one get the separate valve?

[@kb3mzw]

The valve is a 1, 1/4" lunkenheimer I found on eBay. They show up on there every now and then
