Kevin Sweat's 5-Chime Whistle

Whistle

[@PeaceyPraps]

That is, in fact, a Chinese 5 Chime, just from the design of the bell, chambers, and base alone. Though, it sounds GORGEOUS when blown with a cord, instead of an air powered piston.

[@PittsburghAndLakeErie9405]

It is from Knox and Kane #58 ( New Haven 3025

[@T128Productions]

Really? Are you sure?

[@PennRailVideos]

Very nice! Love 5 chimes.

[@jltrain-zgamingrailfan202x3]

There are so many Cast-Iron Short-Bell 5-Chime whistles around the world that sounds just like this!

[@UPchallenger3985]

This whistle sounds very similar to the one that was on Union Pacific #4466 in the 80s.

Nice Sound!!

[@Chris9017]

I think Star was the manufacturer for the whistle, but I am not sure. A chime is a chamber in the whistle, and each chamber plays a different musical not. This whistle has 5 chambers, and or chimes like that of a wind chime or organ hence the name Star 5-chime Whistle.

NSWGR anyone?

[@davidheah8227]

The Chinese, NSWGR, VR and NZR 5 chimes have have very similar chamber lengths; hence the similarity!

[@renegadeoflife87]

Because they all copied the Nathan 5 chime.

[@alexthesouthernpacificmt4879]

@@renegadeoflife87 no

[@jltrain-zgamingrailfan202x3]

@@renegadeoflife87 Yeah I don't think I agree that they're all based on the Nathan 5 Chime. To be accurate, I think they're all copies of the Star Brass 5-Chime whistle.

Australian, by the sound of it.

[@struck2soon]

Southern Pacific were prolific users of the Star Brass 5-chime. The sound is very similar to those fitted on many Australian locos, and also sounds like the NZGR whistle. Of course, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that these were copied from the Star Brass Manufacturing pattern, or perhaps manufactured under license. Just my thoughts.

[@PittsburghAndLakeErie9405]

It is a Chinese 5 chime off of New Haven 3025

[@thewestatlanticrailway]

But its actually a star brass 5 chime
