Re: Original-installation steam whistle

Here is a video of the whistle I built with an engineer from the Durango to Silverton narrow gauge railroad.

Hedberg values?

Good day all.
Found a Hedberg the other day. Most likely from a fire truck. Runs well on 12V.
Can anyone attest to the scarcity or value?
