4:25 sounds like Percy’s whistle from Thomas and friends

Thanks for posting this video! I'm currently working on a 6-chime whistle from 9/16" tubes! :P

Bonjour Keith, A special thank you for this video because for me, steam means whistle. Not only do they have a sound utility that is specific to steam, even if they are a bit sharp, and they also allow the pressure of the boiler to drop if necessary. Of course, all my boats, except my speed ones, operating at 8 Bar/120 PSI, have one. Amicalement, Raphaël

Great information, thanks

Glad it was helpful!

@loganmarriott11 10 месяцев назад

any advice on whistle setups for model steam tugboats, to get that classic deeper sound ? @@keithappleton

@Living_Life_RN Год назад

Cheers Keith! It’s amazing to see what steam whistles are available for model steam. I’m used to looking at whistles on narrow-gauge locos, where very few whistles are available ready-made. I do plan on making my own steam whistle at some point, so might try a model chime whistle first before making the full-sized thing.

Glad you enjoyed it

@steamgent4592 Год назад

If you want the whistle to sound the same as it's prototype, you need to make it the same length as the original. For example if making a Stanier hooter you need to make one the same length as his. Diameter = how loud a whistle is, most Live Steam gauge engines only have enough space to make the whistle 1-2" diameter so won't be as loud as full size but pitch will or should be the same. These whistles of course you hide under the boiler, running board, cab, or even the tender. Yes I've seen a very nice multi chime whistle under the tender and it worked great

ooo, nice! Thank you!

Now a steam calliope would be a project for a future video series !!

@robertweldon7909 Год назад

When I think of steam whistles I think of the ones with the deep throat o0f the Union Pacific's #844 and #4014. But then, neither are models and so would never be right here. Keith, I never seem to not be impressed with your skill and knowledge, and whistles, for model steam engines fit the bill too. ;-)

I fitted a DJB engineering steam whistle to my Roundhouse locomotive, it’s a tiny little thing, but sounds fantastic, probably my favourite part of the loco, I’ve got a video of it on my channel if anyone is thinking about getting one, although DJB is fully booked up for 2023 so I had to pay over the odds and get one from Garden Railway Specialists, worth the money, brings the engine to life so to speak

Hi Keith, did you make a video on improving the bell type whistle? I have tried searching but can’t find anything. Regards Myke.

@keithappleton 27 дней назад

There are some details of whistle modifications in an episode of the "My Strirling Single" series.

@mykeready3742 26 дней назад

@@keithappleton that’s excellent. Thank you I’ll look now. 👍🏻

@stephensmith799 Год назад

There’s a fantastic sounding whistle on my Freudenstein ‘Penlee’ type constructed by the excellent model engineer, Paul Frank. Only trouble is it is so loud drivers need to wear earplugs. Any way of lowering the volume without affecting the pitch? Wrapping it in gaffer tape wouldn’t look pretty!

@keithappleton Год назад

Simply fit a simple adjustable valve on the steam Feed to the Whistle to drop the steam pressure . . . . . less steam pressure, less audio volume.

@robertcornelius3514 6 месяцев назад

I had no luck in finding the next video on the fine tuning of these whistles. Just way too many videos to search through. Perhaps it's time you number your videos in order.

@keithappleton 6 месяцев назад

I do number them in order - every day.

@robertcornelius3514 6 месяцев назад

@@keithappleton , I'm really confused. So which video shows you fine tuning the brass steam whistle?

@keithappleton 6 месяцев назад

I made a whistle modification in one of the "My Stirling Single" videos. Not in the "Model Engineering For Beginners" series as far as I can remember. There are over 2500 videos on my channel. Not all of them are public though.

@robertcornelius3514 6 месяцев назад

@@keithappleton , perhaps too many videos. I was bewildered.
