129 has an awesome whistle!

[@christianladymichelleclm5809]

That’s Milwaukee Zoo 1916 Original Whistle

[@zachzebra56]

​@@christianladymichelleclm5809Sure is! That whistle is a buckeye 3 chime steam whistle. Its also seen on one other locomotive at the R&GN, #12 at the whiskey river railway, and former Milwaukee zoo 1916 as you just mentioned also had this whistle.

What scale are the locomotives made to? 1:4 or 1:3? Locomotives have a prototype?

[@MilwaukeeRoadJames]

Most of these locomotives are 1:4, although I've heard mixed sources between 129 being 1:3 or 1:4. There's no real prototype for 129. The closest there is a Chicago & Northwestern 4-4-2

What happened how did she fail or why did she fail?

[@MilwaukeeRoadJames]

The engine ran low on fire temp, which caused the boiler PSI to drop. The engine then stalled out but the fire was already out. The engine is oil fired, so you can't just throw more coal on the fire.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@MilwaukeeRoadJames Oh okay hopefully they fix that problem hopefully things won't go wrong next time

[@MrJack-uk2hp]

Is the pumpkin train still running in November ? I thought it was the end of the season at the end of October

[@MilwaukeeRoadJames]

I should've clarified the date. That's my bad. This was recorded on October 9th

[@MrJack-uk2hp]

Oh, no worries!

[@elleryparsons2433]

Is The 98 Ok?

[@MilwaukeeRoadJames]

She's down for big running gear work
