In this video, we tell the adventure of a story of the 6 chime whistle I built back in 2016, and you get to see me blow it for the first time. Why does it look like hell? Well, it's been through it... Huge thanks to Austin & Dylan at the Cumbres and Toltec for reuniting me with my whistle, and to Brett & Dusty at the CRRM for actually making it work after all these years. Also shout out to Leo of ‪@coverlandadventures‬ for providing the sweet drone footage of the freight train, and to the ‪@crrm‬ for letting me film all this madness.
We also take 491 out for a spin with a freight train in tow - a lot of good fun :)

@@Hyce777 the whistle sounded very nice. i didnt expect that it would sound like that, but its still sounds very good and it can get peoples attention easily, so it succeeded very well at its purpose.

@kuhljager2429 2 года назад

Hearing that whistle just makes me smile. Nice work making it. And a side effect - since its such a custom made whistle, 491 now truly has a unique voice, you will probably never be able to get a whistle that will sound the same

I say use your whisle for at least one of the "paper" engines that were never actually built. Or a possible upgrade that can be placed on any engine.

@alericjohansen6775 2 года назад

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but I think its AWESOME that the railroad place you work for allowed you to put your own whistle on there. I mean, i don't know much about the operations of that kind of stuff, but to be able to say that you designed and built a whistle, and have it mounted on a real steam engine, is a feat by ITSELF, but then to have some company say, go ahead, put it on there, is just icing on the cake. The sheer joy you got from hearing it and using it, just....wow. That is REAL contagious laughter. I smiled along with you just because you were so happy to finally have it on there and working. Good job man.

I just ran across your channel today. I watched the video where you brought 491 up from cold, then saw this and could not resist. It didn't disappoint. I'm also an engineer, electrical/mechanical who has designed systems that used steam to automatically heat water for industrial purposes. I saw the pride you had after your first run with the whistle, it was justified. The sound is amazing. I could tell you were emotional, rightfully so. I know I took a great deal of pride in the systems that I had worked on.

@Hyce777 Год назад

Cheers Dave - you know the same feeling as I do. No matter the system, or it's subject - when the time comes, it feels great to truly own it. Glad you enjoy the channel.

Pretty much every arrangement of chimes and notes you can imagine have been built at some point... Certain arrangements became more common than others as most don't sound very pleasant. 1, 3, and 6 became the most common with 5 and 4 also used in various places. Others were much more rare.

@ryano.5149 2 года назад

That whistle sounds amazing! Also, I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos! It's so nice to have someone who is so willing to share what all that is like, and I suppose it helps that the Colorado Railroad museum is full of lovely folks like yourself too! Thank you for "pulling back the curtain," so to speak, for us lay people! ...and I know other railroads I'm sure are touchy about camera use in the cab, so I know it's not always something that's even possible to share. Of course, I still very much appreciate all the other engineers/firemen/conductors/shop staff/etc. without a youtube presence, believe me! I'm just saying that it is nice to have such a transparent and candid look at what running a steam locomotive is really like! Thank you! (I say, with full knowledge that I'm at risk of getting a little foamy...but damnit! That's on you! You started it! lol)
