Read here a while ago that the Big Boy, Challengers, and Northern all used the same 3 note Hancock whistle.
Would like to know some dimensions OD, ID and overall length of the whistle and what the notes are.

Planning to build one for 1-1/2" scale some time in the future but want an authentic sound.

Can you all help?

Thanks in advance,

JD Johnson, Morehead and North Fork Railroad Historian

Thank you for the kind replies. I would like to know the dimensions of the main air tank on the Union Pacific Big Boy. OD, and overall length.

Can any of you help me?
