> The steam pressure makes a difference in the sound of the same or identical whistle. NKP 765 on the last Pokey used a J whistle and there was a noticeable sound change. Same using air pressure vs steam. I was told the heat from the steam and cooler air temp had some effect and the air pressure drops while steam remains the same. IDK for sure as that's what I was told years ago.

There were only two remote possibilities (Link Tape E, track 4 and Link Tape AV, track 1) and in both cases there was either a Class A or Y6 nearby. IMO it's fair to say that the 0-8-0's would sound the same as any other N&W freight locomotive. So I agree with John Garner's conclusion.
