       Lackawanna 2321 whistle not working 
       By: Bens33 Date: December 16, 2022, 10:12 am

       Hey guys.  I’m new to the forum.  I was hoping I could get some
       help.  I have a 1950s Lackawanna 2321 train set with a multi
       control trainmaster ZW transformer.  I know very little about my
       train and its components so please bear with me. I only use them
       once a year during the holidays.
       The whistle that is located in the engine does not work when
       controlling it using the switch on the transformer.
       When engaging the whistle switch the lights on the engine will
       brighten but the whistle will not sound.  I did some research
       and tested the whistle by touching a battery to the whistle and
       using a jumper wire connecting to the relay.  The whistle will
       sound when this is done so I know the whistle works.  I also
       tried reversing the connections to my transformer.  That did not
       work.
       I would greatly appreciate any assistance in fixing the whistle.
       Thanks.

       so.....should have a swing away cover on bottom of fuel tank.
       Takes a "D" cell, if I remember.
       I hate the horns and have disabled/removed them all.
       Corrosion.....put the engine away with a battery installed, it
       leaks, massive corrosion. Clean and sand battery contact points
       and try again
