Yes - Bob Bahrs was able to answer my question about this. There was a
second single-chime "blat" horn that faced in the opposite direction. It was
rarely seen because it was located centered between the torpedo tubes and
the exhaust stacks! Look carefully at the elevated photo in the Sweetland
DL&W color book (coming around Garrett Mountain in Paterson), and you can
barely make out the horn.

These are easily changed - I do believe there is a detail part for this?

Be forewarned that I've been told by some dealers that the DL&W ones are in
short supply - apparently, it seems that the "rabid DL&W fans" are all
buying five of these at a pop - the entire fleet!

Good for them, good for Life-Like, and good for the hobby! :)
