Re: Sandy River hat badge and whistle, back in Maine where they belong!

After we bought the whistle my friend Keith polished it up. His father, who was a master plumber, easily removed the cut off pipe from inside it. In 1982 Keith mounted it on his 15" gauge Cagney locomotive and blew the whistle for the first time. Below is a picture of that event plus detailed views of both items.
