I got this from don3 here,

Fittie bucks shipped.:thumbsup:
The small hornets, I mean the size of a baby mosquito, took up residence in the entire whistle. Little black ones.
I needed to pull out my magnifier glass to see some.
The shell is missing one step and a screw, no big deal.
I took it off and this is what I found. I put it on the tracks and gave it power....nothing. I then noticed that the 2 pickup wires had broken off the pickup rollers. I soldered on a couple of new wires and gave it power.....nothing, but I did get a bunch of sparks.:thumbsup:
I took it apart and gave it a quick cleaning, I put it on the track and powered it up........IT RAN.
But didn't make a whistle, it did blow out some of the miniature wasps.
I got my can of air and blew it out good.
I put it back on and.....I got a real low toned soft whistle,:thumbsup: though not a strong one yet it needs some fine tuning.
I got hungry and quit .
I am just going to get these road ready, no paint just a thorough cleaning inside and out.
For now.
I did think about ALIEN GREEN.
Maybe make it an old, Jersey Central Loco.:thumbsup:
