I'd like to see more models with the Hancock Air Whistle, Seaboard used them on some of their E7s.

 

I'm surprised at how big a couple of them are , he seems to have them all.

WOW!Hey bob hearing that lleslie RS5 gave me a flashback to when I was a kid.At home I could hear the seaboard fast freights on summer nights.And that nathanP5 southern railway.When I would visit my uncle in charottle and spend the night.I would hear both seaboard and southern blowing their whistles.

Reminds me of college days. I built a custom Triumph motorcycle for my roommate and he wanted a SERIOUS horn to put a scare in car drivers who came too close. So I dug up an Italian air horn like the ones they put on Ferraris and such and mounted it on the bike. It was a high-pitched, dual-chime screamer and it was actually painful to be in front of it when it went off.

when I was 12 I had 2 maserati air horns mounted on my handlebars with a life raft pump to energize them. cars would get out of my way when I sounded it. the pic is faded but you can see them and the pump.
