| It was reported that 08915s whistle was getting quieter by the day, in this photo Richard is removing the whistle. It was found that the pipe was blocked, Richard unblocked the pipe and gave the whistle a clean before re-fitting and testing. The video below shows it sounding much louder and healthier |
