Reply to "Lionel whistle relays"

It is unusual,in my experience, that the coil end of the whistle relay is a problem. It is usually the contacts that run the whistle motor. Try a couple of batteries in series to give you 3 volts and see if it will operate the relay connected right at the coil.  The problem could be dirty track, dirty wheels, or dirt or corrosion on the roller pin. For the roller pin I had a lot of success with Deoxit D5. The problem could also be the whistle rectifier in the transformer.
