Is that a resonator next to the whistle in the cab?

The "Whistle" is a hooter!! (Archangel speak!) The big bit is to make it sound a bit deeper!

Going in the other direction.

Fantastic. I´d never seen a pic of the "hooter" before :D

And it´s good to know that Stewart is still building :P

Very nice, as always! I would love to get my hands on a Rheidol, but being on the other side of the pond is a distinct disadvantage.

A friend in Canada just acquired a 1981 Marmaduke that has a resonator whistle that is quite pleasing when blown at 70 psi. Unfortunately, it pulls down the pressure and reduces the number of razzberries blown during the course of a run.
