It was Thursday evening and I'm doing some minor adjustments on my K-28 and manage to knock into the whistle valve and break it off the boiler. There was a small joiner piece and it snapped due to a healthy bump on my part. I was in panic mode as I was having some friends and relatives over for a steamup demonstration on Saturday and wanted the whistle working, the kids love this part.
I gave Bob Weltyk a call late Thursday evening and explained my predicament and he was willing to fabricate the part I needed and ship it overnight. Saturday morning at 10:45 my doorbell rang and the express mail package was in my hands. A quick 15 min installation and I was off to the track just in time for my audience.
I just wanted to publicly thank Bob for helping make this impromptu steam up a success with his excellent customer service.
Just in case you have not heard the dual chime whistle available for the K-28, here is a short clip.
