Jayhawk500 posted:Well I found my picture I was wanting to post up. It was on this computer the whole time.
If someone can point out make and model of the generators and whistle that would be great. Like I said above, my research has told me that whistle is a Nathan, but what kind?
I also sent an email off to the B&O Museum, but I haven't received a reply as of yet.
Thanks for the help!

The whistle was a custom stainless steel 6 chime created by Bob Swanson, the founder of Airchime. Two were made. The first one, used on the Chessie Steam Special, was commissioned by the late Hays Watkins, CEO of Chessie System at the time. The whistle was his personal property, and was part of his estate upon his death and is now in the hands of a private collector.
The second whistle was used on Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson 2860.
That appears to be a stainless steel whistle in the photo above. I'd say that's the Swanson 6-chime.
Here is a YouTube video of the Swanson 6-Chime on a tourist line locomotive.
