Hello Frisco Forums- I am looking for photographs of SLSF whistles, specifically flat top steamboat whistles from the 1500 class. Do any pictures of Frisco Whistles up close exist that anyone knows about? Thanks in advance. -AJ
The Manning, Maxwell & Moore whistle and the Ashton safety valves on 4516. http://www.frisco.org/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=11938&d=1287284399
I do like the step tops of the 4500s but I'm looking for the flat tops, like the ones seen mounted on the 4200s. Do any of those whistles still exist?
Sometime back (Two or three years, I think ??), someone posted an audio file of a 4500 engine whistle. It really sounded awesome. But how one would go about searching for and retrieving it on this website is beyond me. Someone else will have to find it amd bring it up. Tom G.
If I remember (I downloaded it to my old PC), the identifiers with the file were "Hancock SLSF 4500." Whatever that meant. It sounded pretty neat... Tom G.
Does this help? [video=youtube;kqdHlEZZPo8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqdHlEZZPo8[/video] [video=youtube;q63luqvePG8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q63luqvePG8[/video] [video=youtube;-dV06pSX4MM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dV06pSX4MM[/video]
This one sounds right. The video that was sent to me was an SP sounding three chime, not the deep tone. I kinda wonder about the top lever on it though. Mike Massey brought it I assume?
On the old "Age of Steam" museum (in Dallas) website there was a page on 4501 that also had a WAV file of them blowing the whistle. Two computer crashes ago I had that file as a startup sound for the PC.
