Marty: I didn't see a reply to your question, so I'll try to address it now. It's difficult to discern differences amongst early single chime horns. Two to consider are: Details West AH173 "Blat" type Details West AH174 "Wabco" http://www.detailswest.com/ I think the Wabco is the longer of the two, and believe the Blat is a better match for the ones use on the C424. See this photo for a look as delivered: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/loco/el2401alb.jpg Later these same horns were repositioned, with the forward being mounted on a bracket, and rearward mounted to the side of the carbody. See this photo for repositioned mount: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/loco/el2401age.jpg Best regards, Tim Costello At 05:33 AM 10/14/2003, Marty Witkiewicz wrote: >Hi All, >Hope someone can tell me what type of horns were on the "as delivered" >C424's.
