This thread is exactly what it sounds like.

Show off your locomotive horns and the history behind them.

First off, this is my IEC-Holden K3L from the mid-late 1980s. This thing had four coats of paint, the top layer being GM Pewter spray paint. I dismantled the horn, cleaned the internals, and sandblasted the exterior. There are talks of this horn being sold in the next three weeks, but if it weren't for that, it would be going into CP Action Red.

My other horn is a 1970 (what should be) a former Conrail Leslie SU3L featuring a bronze tag. At some point in the horn's life, it had power chamber issues warranting a change from S to RS chambers. This horn was also blasted and cleaned, and will eventually receive a shiny coat of Conrail blue after I purchase new gaskets.
