NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 122, Issue 25

[NW Mailing List]

There are whistle makers out there, you can duplicate it, when the time 
comes, I am sure they'll get the right whistle on.

NKP 765 has ran with many differrent guest whistles, when it ran the 
Horseshoe curve it blew a K4 whistle.

For now I guess its do what you can.
