Our little "group" is probably the most active whistle blowers in
the country, and we do it on a pretty large scale. From Modelers
weekend to New Years, event after event, spreading the joy of
whistles. Believe it or not, most people enjoy them. There is three
to five of us at any given place, and about 15 whistles between us.
Rain or shine, sleet or snow, we blow whistles no matter what. Just
recently, the* C&O Modelers Convention at Hawks Nest had us out for two days straight (all day long) in
the snow and rain and we had a blast. Usually we use air but once or twice a year we get steam
either at
Heritage Farms in Huntington, WV
or Cass. Since we can't always have steam, the
compressor we rent is 325 CFM at 125 PSI which blows whistles
pretty good, but on New Years we get the mother of all; a 900 CFM
300 PSI mamma jamma - It will blow whistles like nobody's business.
It's not really the fact we like just whistles; it's the
fact we get hang out and get to share our passion or whistles and
railroading. Most of the time we only talk about the latest news on
steam-whistles yahoo group! BUT...If not the group where making fun
of our horn loving buddys. So as you can tell we just flat out have
a great time. I mean hey, they let me pull the chord all I
want, what more can someone ask for.
If you get the chance, come share a good time with us.
