Re: (erielack) New Material - 22-28 Aug

C424s were delivered with the 2 single chime horns placed that way ala Erie
practice (let freight engines "blat" their way through town).  C425 engines
came with 3 chime horns as did the remainder of the 2nd generation power.
So redetail your Atlas 424s.  Guess you have to change the horns on the 425s
as well.  Tim, where is our EL horn project?
