@RickO posted:Heres an excellent high quality photo Gary. When you zoom in it looks like it might be whistle. Theres a large port at the base of the whistle. No clue what that is. Unless its something else, maybe these locomotives have 2 whistles?

Now, to get this to Lionel so they don't offer a whistle steam feature and no whistle
Looks like the whistle is tapped off a supply line for maybe the generator?….this would coincide with Jack’s statement that the whistle is air operated and not by lanyard or linkage, …..I looked at that pic too, I didn’t see an air line or anything else, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there,….
