@PereMarquette1223 They could also be quilling the whistle. you can make it high pitched or low pitched easily.

[PereMarquette1223]

The whistle sounds a little too low pitched. They must've had the pressure turned down leading to the whistle.

2-8-4 is a really ideal wheel arrangement.... plenty of support for a big firebox (hence sustained high DBHP), wheels big enough to get a move-on, but good for acceleration too, and a leading pony-truck to roll out the road and lead the loco around the curves, again at a fair speed. Damn fine-looking beastie too! And great in black....

did the whistle whistle change on 1225 or its not blown fully open

Well,propane and natulal gas are both waste products from refining crude,soooo oil will still factor in.However,a tiney atomic reactor would consume nothing but water,and would last for 20 years.Aaaahhhh,a nuke scare.

why the hell don't they use steam but use natural or propane gas. to create the heat to make the steam?who needs oil then

[wmichswingers]

Oil keeps going up we may have to go back to using these
