Flying Scotsman whistles

The famous Flying Scotsman locomotive has two whistles - here they are in my hand at the National Railway Museum in York, UK while the locomotive is being overhauled.

That was a very good presntation sir, would you perhaps have any videos explaining about the PRR banshee type? I wish to learn more about it

[david245611]

in the UK the bell whistle (one chime) is probobly used more in the US they use mostly The Chime whistles

I think the South African Chime? (It looks the same to RH&DR Black Prince) sounds better than the standard LNER whistle.
