This would look great as 734.

I loved her deep sounding Hancock whistle, which sounds so different across different times.
To me, it seems counter-intuitive that a large locomotive would have a high-pitched whistle as all the operating 4-8-4's have low-pitched whistles of various 'depth'.
Most railroads reserved the melodic whistles for passenger engines, while the freight engines mostly got hooters and banshees. 3, 5 and 6 chimes we're better on the peoples ears, were as the single chime whistles traveled MUCH farther....that is very handy when you had a helper crew 85 cars behind you needed to hear whistle signals.
Keep in mind the Reading T1s were freight engines....verses the SP 4449, UP 844, SP&S 700, Milw 261, ATSF 3751 and C&O 614 were all passenger engines.
Out here in the west many of the railroads had more lower pitched whistles like 5 and 6 chimes. SP 6 chimes were found on all sorts of their locomotives, including 2-8-0s, 4-6-2s, and cab forwards.Most railroads reserved the melodic whistles for passenger engines, while the freight engines mostly got hooters and banshees. 3, 5 and 6 chimes we're better on the peoples ears, were as the single chime whistles traveled MUCH farther....that is very handy when you had a helper crew 85 cars behind you needed to hear whistle signals.

It was originally LS&I 34. WM has had a new headlamp, chimney, stoker, rock knocker, and Mohawk tender added. Your superb model is closer than anything else we have in Trainz now. The real 734 is "close enough" to real a WM H-9, so the " model H-9" should be close enough to the model 734.
