Re: The Chessie System Nathan K5LA

There was also a steam whistle that was custom made for Chessie System's steam excursions that played the same notes as the K5LA. First it was usesd on Reading 2101 in the late 70s then it was used on C&O 614 in the 80s.

With all the work I do for the horns on the shortline I work for, the only Leslie chambers I think are worth for active use are bronze tabbies and RS.
