Glad my scrutinizing paid off. I have a few pictures of it standing at the auction and compared to your picture and could find some areas that were a dead ringer for your picture. You are lucky you got that whistle. I know I finally had to bow out. Carr's auctions were all very interesting. Lots of headlights etc. lots of DM&IR items. I got a number of handlanterns and O gauge stuff as wellas I attended all his auctions even though Duluth is 300 miles away. Jack was a very nice guy, and died before the auction. He was not retired for very long. I visited the hobby shop each year I vacationed in Duluth. Since then the building has been torn down. I will attach a couple of photos for your interest.
