[CBQ] Re: Air Horns on Q E Units in the 1960's

["burlingtonfan" <myers.scottv@gmail.com>]

I have a brass E5 that I am installing a Tsunami sound decoder in.  The model 
has two single bell air horns mounted on the cab roof (and black nose stripes) 
so apparently portrays a unit before the one of the single bell horns was 
replaced with a two bell Leslie S2M horn in the mid-fifties (per Ed DeRouin's 
1/31/2002 email Re: Passenger horn sound).  Can someone confirm what air horn 
would have been used on the original E5s?  Leslie A-200 perhaps?

Thanks,

Scott Myers
