A nice sentiment, but Not the same whistle! 90s rebuild in Tuam was drastic a Complete nut and bolt rebuild lot a loco already tired at the end of service, and left outdoors for 25 years!  The whistle currently on 90 is said to have originated from the GWR. 

Whistle on 90 in the 1990s was a BR one. Stolen while it was stored in Tuam. The RPSI made a replica of 186’s original GSWR one, so 90 will sound like it did 150ish years ago

Interesting to read that bits of Sprite linger on in No 90. Have often tinkered with the idea of building Sprite and its pay coach, because they travelled far and wide in their time and would make a novel addition to my 1900s scenes on Northport Quay. Thus far have only got round to making an outline drawing, using info in the Green Bible, but if anyone has anything else, it might just be the nudge I need...

Have a vague idea that Roger offered a kit many moons ago? He may have some ideas….
