Despite the Lilly Belle and her coaches being put on Welcome Show Train services, they were all briefly put back into Grand Circle Tour services due to another locomotive and its personal coaches being out of service altogether for maintenance or refurbishment. Here's some rare photos that I've...

It's a German manufacturer company, which expand its subsidiary in Brooklyn, NY, around 1876. They used to produce steam whistles until the 1940s.

I want to give a correction; according to YouTuber cple1, it turns out that the Roger E. Broggie's new whistle is a Schaeffer & Budenberg (S&B) 5 inch 3-chime.

Happy New Year and look whose red tender is inside the shop now:

You were saying...

*ahem* "It's obviously and Roger wore a Schaffer & Budenberg (S&B) 5-inch 3-chime whistle."

Lilly and Roger's Buckeye whistles were no longer in their prime anymore. Walter's Buckeye whistle is the only one still in its prime. Lilly's was last used in December 2023: While Roger's last sounded in January 2014: Like I said Lilly is now wearing Walter's old whistle:

Obliviously, Walter and Roger no longer wear the Buckeye 3-inch 3 chime whistles. They're now equipped with the Baldwin and Crosby S&B 5-inch 3 chime whistles, respectively. Lilly is the only one left to wear the Buckeye 3 inch.

I've also notice Walter's stack talk sounded a lot louder and deeper than it was before Strasburg:

That was another user doing that...

Here's a really awesome video of the Lilly Belle sounding Walter's old whistle at full blast and ringing her bell while backing up to the World Drive crossing! :D:

Like I said, Roger's new Crosby whistle is out of tune, and it needs to sound like this:

I don't know and NO, I don't want Lilly and Roger sound way too similar to each other, wearing the same Crosby 5-inch diameter types. I prefer Lilly wearing the high-pitched Buckeye 3-inch diameter 3-chime.

Liberty Belle's whistle is a Crosby 5-inch diameter 3-chime too, albeit it's a new style version of it without the acorn top valve: She temporarily wore a Lunkenheimer 3-inch diameter single-chime from 2018 to 2020:

The new whistle sounds way too low-pitched because of how sooty and dirty it looked. I wish they could polish it up to its proper sound tone like that:
