This will be an easy one, but the only one I have seen.

Is that a bellows?

 

Some sort of noise maker?

       Looks like a " Mrs. K will kill me when see sees what I put on the stove", but I could be mistaken.

Train whistle, also used to annoy the neighbors and their dogs.

Definitely a bellow with the pipes tuned to create four different notes. The rope pulls the bellows to force air out the pipes.

Railroading application? Maybe for a caboose or other unit that didn’t have steam or compressed air for a whistle?

I wonder if it came off of a Wurlitzer theater organ?

That is an air operated fog or  fireman’s signal horn. It is mounted through the brackets on bottom and actuated by pulling string on back.

Think I need to find one and mount it on our pontoon.

 

Would be easier than making a small boiler to run a steam whistle.

Mrs. 8n says no.  I'd get into too much trouble with something like that.

It would be a nice addition  for a Wheel Horse Train.    The kids would enjoy pulling the rope to blow the train whistle.

Where could something like this be mounted on a 75 C160 Automatic?

Send sealed bids to my PM.

Looking at it closer it can also be a garden train whistle.

She's probably right. 

That's why I would NOT ask my Other Half.....

You can buy brand new ones at Strasburg.  I hope that someone from the Ma & Pa Preservation buys it for use at Muddy Creek Forks.

If this deal goes through, we will need a video WITH good audio.
