bowman · cyldon whistle help!!

Hi all, I have been playing with my new cyldon 13/5 today, unfortuanatly the end of the whistle has fallen off and is rattling around in the boiler!! Can anyone post a photo of what it looks like? I have the boiler off and been shaking it for ages, but i am damned if i can get the part out of any of the boiler holes........

cheers Sandy

I hope these help.

Thanks Les, its the bottom brass part thats come off the through shaft of the whistle, it MUST come out its hole in the boiler, but only if it is perfectly aligned, thats the hard part!!

cheers sandy

If it is hollow you might be able to fish it out with a piece of thin wire once threaded on the wire, the wire serves as a guide to direct it out of the hole.

Try filling the boiler up with water and pouring it out, sometimes works.

I do have a small crocodile forceps for that- always a bonus when the bits are thought to be missing
