Glad to be of some help. Doesn't happen all that often. Jeff

Yup, it's a whistle. I'm missing the one on my AC-11 also. I see you're also missing the stack splitter (a smoke deflector) from above the stacks, and a cover (feedwater heater?) just behind the stacks. Also both the pumps from the smokebox front. Good luck with your restoration. Gotta love...

How does anyone come up with that much disposable income at one time? Do you deal drugs for a living? Damn, I'm jealous! : ) Jeff
