    Tad: I will move this to the railfan forum where those guys know everything. I once asked about the number of rivets on a radiator door and one of them had a drawing. Surely they will know the horn types. Probably better than N scale.

    Really nice ADN pictures! I like the GP10 types.

    Not certain but I will see if I can match it up to anything I have access too.

    I keep thinkign this is some form of a Nathan P5....but I can only see 4 bells?


    With my optivisor's...i think they are Nathan P-5's....with the #2 bell reversed

    As an aside...how can you reverse a "bell?" Do you just bolt it to the other side? Looks like it would be fixed in one direction or the other.

    Well, I looked around after you replied, Pat, and I found this link:

    Nathan P5

    I think that they are actually Nathan P135R24's.

    What do y'all think?

    BTW, Thanks, Flash.

    Yeah Tad, you found it.....I figured it was a modified P5. [​IMG]

    Not sure if there is one actually manufactured, though. That'll be the hard part, even harder in N Scale. [​IMG]

    Flash, yes for the most part they can just be un-bolted and turned around (replace gaskets if rebuilding it) and re-bolt. I think they generally do this to project the sound in both directions...........airwaves and such. Safety thing incase they are running LHF or whatnot.
