Lackawanna 2321 whistle not working

Hey guys. I’m new to the forum. I was hoping I could get some
help. I have a 1950s Lackawanna 2321 train set with a multi
control trainmaster ZW transformer. I know very little about my
train and its components so please bear with me. I only use them
once a year during the holidays.
The whistle that is located in the engine does not work when
controlling it using the switch on the transformer.
When engaging the whistle switch the lights on the engine will
brighten but the whistle will not sound. I did some research
and tested the whistle by touching a battery to the whistle and
using a jumper wire connecting to the relay. The whistle will
sound when this is done so I know the whistle works. I also
tried reversing the connections to my transformer. That did not
work.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in fixing the whistle.
Thanks.

so.....should have a swing away cover on bottom of fuel tank.
Takes a "D" cell, if I remember.
I hate the horns and have disabled/removed them all.
Corrosion.....put the engine away with a battery installed, it
leaks, massive corrosion. Clean and sand battery contact points
and try again
