Reply to "What Kind of Whistle Did the Erie Triplex Have?"

I'm trying to get a sense of what it would have sounded like. Does the MTH model portray it correctly? Or does something like a Class A, Allegheny, or a standard hooter sound more like what it would have had.

Sid, even if you did happen to stumble across film footage of a Triplex in action, any sounds would most likely have been dubbed over,....may I make a suggestion, ...like I said, send an email to the Erie railroad guys, if they can’t help you, then as you’re probably aware by now doing your research work, that’s a Baldwin built locomotive, pick a Baldwin with a single chime like Steve suggested,.....Maybe Jack ( Hotwater) will see this and lend his expertise like Steve did,.....and then maybe with the two of them, and some of your own research, you can make the educated guess,....keep up the good work!...I watched your Camelback video yesterday....very nicely done!..
