Chatzi -- Only a year in Colorado, and you forgot Hesston already!!!!! Just sent Porter #2 boiler out to be reproduced to current codes. It will need a whistle, unless we steal one of the 3 chime Leslie (air whistles) back from the CKD or the Orenstein-Kopple. And Porter #17 is stripped till we have the bucks for a new boiler there too. You buy it, and we'll provide 175# steam to blow it!!!!! Ted bought (his money) an MD Whistles Southern Top Lever repro now on Shay # 7. Sounds pretty good!

You gonna make it to Chicago for Christmas???
