Here’s one of the few new additions to the collection for the new year. It’s a mid 1970s K3L that was manufactured by Holden through Nathan Airchime. The horn is sand cast and requires cork gaskets for all of the bells. The diaphragm packs on this horn were less than stellar. 2 bent diaphragms on the 3 bell, heat treated (garbage) diaphragms in the 2 bell, and the one was just worn out. So, I dropped a fresh rebuild kit inside diaphragms and cushions) and cleaned up
The nozzle and clamp ring and the horn woke up. Temp in the video was in the 40s with some light wind gusts. Enjoy! Please feel free to ask questions!

The voice of the mighty FPA-4s that once served Canada's Transcontinental Canadian. Grand Canyon Railway's #6793 (also former Potomac Eagle) still utilizes this horn type on its scheduled runs between Williams and the South Rim when the F40PHs aren't scheduled. Between the 1990s and late 2008, GCR used 6773, 6776 and 6793 but as of 2009 6793 is the only FPA-4 running on the former ATSF Grand Canyon Line. #6773 is in storage at the Williams Yard ever since 2008, while #6776 was repainted and place on display at the South Rim since 2016.

They’re on eBay. Just search Nathan Airchime and stuff will pop up. You need two diaphragms, and one cushion ring to complete the internal rebuild on a k horn.
