Handy Don 12,230 #5 Posted September 26, 2023 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? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,987 #12 Posted September 26, 2023 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. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,004 #13 Posted September 26, 2023 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. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
