I was in attendance of it's first move under steam and the whistle did sound quite sick. Really gotta hand it out to you guys for bringing her voice back.
..... As a long time retired machinist... I got great joy in seeing and hearing the assorted machining operations involved in restoring the whistle ..... 🇺🇸 ... 🛠️ .....
Ok, I expected it to be good knowing how well you guys do, but when I heard that thing blow, HOLY CRAP! 10/10 restoration right there. Sounds exactly like a 6 chime should imo.
Every time I hear a whistle from any steam locomotive, I get excited. They are awesome. Thanks for showing us a little on the restoration of this magnificent whistle
What a fantastic sounding whistle, I am eager to see the 2926 back in operation hauling excursion trains throughout the southwestern territory of America in the nearby future.
You guys did a fantastic job I was there when the whistle came back and it looked like you guys threw the old whistle in the trash and made one straight from the factory! And it sounded just as good.
I have a brass three chime that picked up at an estate sale for $10. I would love to hear it under live steam, even with compressed air it's impressive.
*So, the original machining was a bit off... Considering it was probably steam and belt driven lathe, I guess they did pretty well, considering? God bless you guys. Love great craftsmanship!*
Job well done to all involved. It's to bad they don't allow making duplicates of some of the steam whistles. It could be great revenue for historic railroads. I mean majority of the surviving steam locomotives rely on donations to begin with to keep them in good condition for operating.
@@aadvb6664 , When Steam locomotives are repaired or restored, It's common practice for many parts to be made in the machine shop because they're no longer available; In the case of the whistle it was less expensive or time consuming to repair it than to make a new one.
Now all you need to do is 611’s asthmatic Hancock. She deserves to have that BOOMING voice back. Now it just sounds like it’s drowning in steam with only the middle note vaguely sounding.
Lanquid plate to the bowl were not concentric. So if you recut the bowl a new plate has to be made. How did you determine what the opening between the bowl and plate had to be. Then as the bowl get larger and plate gets larger does this affect the sound of the whistle? Also the steam exiting the opening between the plate and bowl is directed up into the bells. With a slightly larger diameter does this affect the steam direction into the bells and then the sound?
Nice, you guys do 1st class work. I am impressed. We have seen so many gorgeous whistles ruined by "crapsman". They are a complete opposite of a "craftsman", like you guys. A crapsman is a butcher.
So, forgive me for possibly sounding stupid with this question, but is a LFM 6 chime the same thing as an AT&SF 6 chime, or is there a difference between the two whistles?
You know. ..if the Titanic whistle was recovered from the bottom of the ocean floor ..then the last sound of it leaving Portsmouth could be re-created.
It was recovered, and sounded. But it was sounded on compressed air and not steam as it was feared steam would damage it. A replica would have to be made if someone wanted to blow it on steam, although it would most likely sound like any other Smith Hyson super whistle.
@@TrainsAreReallyCool Not really necessary anyways. Kahlenberg made a replica of Titanic's whistle, and Mauretania's whistle survived on a factory and is still in great shape in a seemingly private museum. Also, if I recall, not all of the Smith Hyson whistles were the same (I could be wrong here.) Supposedly the other sets that weren't on the quad-stackers were smaller and didn't sound the same... I'm not 100% on that. That's what a collector trying to buy one told me once. I guess the only way to know would be to measure Normandie's whistle to compare. Or run recordings in a program to figure out the tones.

Now THAT is an American whistle! Loud, powerful, and commanding respect.
plus it has been in countless cartoons too
I was in attendance of it's first move under steam and the whistle did sound quite sick. Really gotta hand it out to you guys for bringing her voice back.
I'm glad you gave our old girl her voice back, she sounds wonderful! Thank you for working your magic on her whistle.
A high stepping honey for sure Cadet.
Her voice has been heard for the first time in many years. Loud, proud and commanding respectful. You guys did a great job of this whistle.
I am a hobby machinist, having built a live steamer. Just want to say, good job!
..... As a long time retired machinist... I got great joy in seeing and hearing the assorted machining operations involved in restoring the whistle ..... 🇺🇸 ... 🛠️ .....
This is just amazing!!! How exciting to be part of such a historically significant project. She sounds beautiful again, thanks to you!
Excellent job as always Rizzoli! It's always a treat to hear about the top-notch work you do for a variety of groups.

Speaking with Authority now! Great job!

That sounds lovely! You did a great job rebuilding it!
What a fantastic sounding whistle, I am eager to see the 2926 back in operation hauling excursion trains throughout the southwestern territory of America in the nearby future.
Impressive machining and millwright skills.
Fantastic work! You gave 2926 back her unique voice!
I love these whistles
Great work on the restoration of the whistle.
This just made my day. Great job as always!
I hope you made this on your Trainz whistles pack
@Kymani Brown Oy vey. For the last time, I’m working on it! It’s just taking a really long time, that’s all.
@@T128Productions Do you accept whistle requests?
@@SadFairlie Yes, but I feel much more comfortable if you’d ask on my channel.
I really love your job! One day I get to this level of work with my whistles! Cheers from Brazil!
You guys did a fantastic job I was there when the whistle came back and it looked like you guys threw the old whistle in the trash and made one straight from the factory! And it sounded just as good.
This just makes me more hyped to seeing 2926 doing its first runs in the future on the mainline.
And with 3751 operational again, they could run together at some point! Next year is going to be great for steam preservation!
@@TrainsAreReallyCool I doubt it'll be next year, these kinds of plans can take longer than you can expect.
Love it ! Thank you for sharing this beauty !!!
You guys did a remarkable job. Thank you!
Great job! The whistle sounds amazing
That sounds wonderful! Great job!
Now that's a GOOD sounding ATSF 6 Chime!
Beautiful sound!!!
Goosebumps
This whistle is a beauty! You guys should ask the guys in Portland if you can repair Dick Yagers whistle for 4449.
I LOVE Santa Fe #2926!
A great job by all.Thanks for the video.👍
Just cool. Way cool. Wonderful job.
Love to see top-quality work!
Loud and proud! Job well done!
Awesome job!
Well Done!
Wonderful sound
4:27 Sounds very beautiful!
Well done!

Something I’ve been wanting to see, another steam whistle restoration
*So, the original machining was a bit off... Considering it was probably steam and belt driven lathe, I guess they did pretty well, considering? God bless you guys. Love great craftsmanship!*
Heaven on the ears!!
2926’s voice has returned!
beautiful
Hellava job guys!!!
I'm still waiting for my ride! But, I guess we all are...LoL
The whistle was made at Locomotive Finished Material Company, Atchison, Ks.
Job well done to all involved. It's to bad they don't allow making duplicates of some of the steam whistles. It could be great revenue for historic railroads. I mean majority of the surviving steam locomotives rely on donations to begin with to keep them in good condition for operating.
Why aren’t duplicates allowed to be made?

4:27 Wowawewa!
That long bell 6 chime needs to be back on #2926
This engine is getting closer to stretching her wheels on the tracks for her excursion trips
4:26 that's how a 6 chime is supposed to sound
4:27 I Wish Santa Fe 2926’s Whistle was Added to Trainz Driver 2
just waiting to see ATSF 2926 and 3751 double head
300 p.s.i...no other locomotive boiler pressure around the planet. Wow
N&W 611 is chuffing at 300 psi. 😁
Many modern American steam locomotives operated at 300-310 psi
Did the bell of the whistle require any repairs?
This engine NEEDs to doublehead with 3751 on a mainline excursion.
So, forgive me for possibly sounding stupid with this question, but is a LFM 6 chime the same thing as an AT&SF 6 chime, or is there a difference between the two whistles?
the former
So I have a question. Even though this whistle is marked LFM on it, is it still considered an AT&SF 6 chime?
4:26
4:27 [train whistle]
I thought that the whistle was stolen while it was in the park, guess it must’ve been found if that was the case.
It was removed for safe keeping then returned to us once it’s safety was ensured. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. 😁
Didn’t she originally have a 5 chime?
What frequency does the whistle sound at?
