What kind of horn is this?

[NYSW F45]

Taken by an engineer buddy who has helped me out tremendously. I can't remember what kind of horn this is. I have the stand for it, but need to order or pick it up before wednesday.

nathen p5 ?

 

[diburning]

what's the roadname? loco number? hertiage of the loco?

It looks like a K5LA with 2 bells facing the rear. Pan Am Railways has a few of them on their GP35s.

You can read the Nathan stamping on the rear of the horn housings. If it's a modern engine, there's about a 90% chance it will be a Nathan P5 or P3, since Leslie got out of the horn business in the late 80's.

It's a Nathan. Leslies have the round "bulb-like" cover over the reeds.

Its the Susquehanna's SD40T-2 3014. Its former Southern Pacific 8321. What it was numbered under UP I have no idea. P5 does sound familiar.

Is Cal-scale the only company that makes an HO scale P5?

 

[UP2CSX]

Nope, Details West and Detail Associates also make them and they look better than the Cal Scale version, IMHO.

i'll have to check walthers again. i typed p5 and p-5 and only got the cal-scale one.

Search for "Nathan" in the advanced search with HO and Super detail parts as the categories and they will show up.
