Monday July 7th. The Reading & Northern SD-40 had a seven chime Nathan "P" series on her. I spent most of the day chasing her. A sound you're not likely to hear on any diesel these days. Ed K. HORNS INC.
Yes this is my horn, the R&N was nice enough to let me mount it on the 3055 for the day. Its a basic Nathan P-5 with a "0" bell added, and a "5" bell which has been shortened. The chord for those musically inclined A, C#, E, F#, A, C#, E. Ed K.
LOL Ed, you let them borrow your signature horn!? Send 3055 down here, I want to hear it! I love the R&N guys, the most character on any railroad, true greatness.
That's great that a big railroad let you mount the horn a a engine, it sounds great! The openning shot is awsome, and I love the R&N switcher on a road train.
When my dad was younger, he and his brothers wanted to mount a locomotive horn underneath the hood of their car and blow it behind a tanker truck at a rr crossing. Probably good that they never did but funny none the less
You are one lucky person there Ed... I wish I could get myself a train horn some time... Not to go around and scare people either. Could you email me the best raw footage so I can make it useable by MSTS? All credit will be given if I release it.
