Is there a way to get a quillable whistle on Bigboy imperial ps2 and if so how?

Unfortunately, you cannot.
Barry,
could he not upgrade to a PS32 board and load a Big Boy PS3 sound file? We did that with my Allegheny. I have not researched the available sound files yet for the Big Boy with quillable whistle but I thought there was one.
That said, I would go to your LHS and ask them to demo the quillable whistle for you on a PS3 engine. Mine allows thumb wheel control of the whistle but doesn't add much more than holding the whistle button down. I have not tried it on PS3 factory engines, but expected a little more variability to the whistle tone and maybe some smoke effects too.

He said a PS2 engine, not PS3.
If he changed it to a PS3 engine, he could upload a new Chain File and Sound File with a Playable whistle. However, he'd have to use some other engine's files, since there are no sound or chain files with a playable whistle for a RK Big Boy.
That's an awful lot of money to put a playable whistle into an engine that could have inaccurate scale speed when all was said and done.

Agree
Does the Doppler affect the whistle when turned on or only the engine sounds?

Carl, Yes. The Doppler effect affects all sounds, that you have on, in the engine.
