Many years back, I bought an re-motored and DCC non-sound decoder equipped HO scale Hallmark Silver Charger from Mike Spoor after he visited my layout. He told me I needed more than he did. It ran fairly well though it would occasionally stall in spots. It more than adequately pulled the 3 car train it is assigned.

I just put a Tsunami 2 decoder in it along with a current keeper and it now runs as well as any of my modern plastic locomotives. Pretty amazing for a loco with a chain drive and only powered on the lead truck (as per the prototype).

My question is what air horns was Silver Charger equipped with especially post-1960? I looked over the railroad loco diagram and the Bulletin on shovel noses, but I did not see any reference to the air horns. Anyone have any idea? I've currently have the unit set to use a Leslie A125/A200 combination.
