Chris, actually that is the 70's original whistle. a baldwin 3 chime flat top. I put it on the climax a few years back to hear what it sounded like and alot liked it so it stayed.
@kd7tqn That would make sense. The whistle sounds better on her than it does on the Climax. I was hoping she would get 5's beautiful Ashton whistle, but her current whistle is beautiful on her.
the #70 sure looks great, I hope to get to see her sometime

WOW! She is beautiful.
Looks a lot like the 5.
That air pump is a sound of beauty.
The Climax's whistle sounds great on her. Perfect Whistle for a logging Mikado.
