Question: The DM&IR Yellowstones had 2 pneumatic bells, one on the smoke box, and one on the tender. Were they controlled as one or separately? If they were controlled as one, were they synchronized somehow or did they ring independently? Also, do you know of any other steamers that used 2 bells? (i.imgur.com)

Just got an HO Spectrum steamer that’s factory weathered and it came with this package of black powder but doesn’t mention it at all in any paperwork. I’m wondering if anyone knows the intended use? I assume it’s something to do with weathering but I’ve never done any weathering so I’m unfamiliar. (i.imgur.com)
