Re: C-420 horns

 

For those who rely on this list - It appears that the original horns for LV C420 were Nathan P2RI although I have a note that indicates 408 originally had? a Nathan M3R1. I tend to doubt that that is the?case as I believe the LV 420's were built in a single lot and would not have different?equipment specifications.??

I believe they were all conveyed to the D&H with their origin horns. From the photographic research I have done it seems that the D&H started converting C420's to M3RT1's as early as 1977 (414). It looks like most of the rest were changed in the 1980-1981 time frame. Maybe the?D&H salvaged the horns from retired RS3's, but this is pure speculation on my part.

Go to the anthracite roads historical society website and find the link for Lehigh Valley modelling. There is a complete section on horns used by the LV by model and sometimes by road number. My phone isn't cooperating so I am unable to paste the link. When I am near a computer I'll add it on this thread.

Thanks Bill. That's a big help. I thought so, but wasn't sure. Now I just need the ex-LV C-420 horn info.

Ed,

It had an M3RT-1 when it was on the D&H. I checked in "Lehigh & Hudson River A Link in a Great Chain" by Robert Yanosey and all the photographic evidence points to them being delivered with M3RT1. There is a picture of #21 in 1963 with the M3RT1. I saw no pictures with a different horn.

Does anyone know what type of horn came on the ex-L&HR C-420 or the original 2 chime horns delivered on the ex-LV C-420's? I know some were converted to Nathan M-3R-T1s in the 80's.
?
Thanks
