Nelson...A-200 would be the choice. As for the chime horn, it's a Leslie S-2m. Only a couple received them. Not sure about the bell. The A-125s were mostly used on SW's around the country. They had a higher pitched tone. Best use pictures for the horn placement as they varied.

Two CB&Q Phase II GP7s arrived in the mail today, and for the first time the decoder has steel and bronze bell sound options. I would expect the Q to use bronze bells on GP7s, but I thought I better check. There are 16 horn options to choose from, and I would guess that the GP7s had Leslie Tyfon A-200 horns, but I’m open to correction. I have a photo of CB&Q 209 with a chime horn that appears to be a Leslie A-125 and A-200 combo on the short hood. Other photos (CB&Q 216, etc.) show one A-200 on the short hood pointing forward and another A-200 on the left side pointing to the rear. The models have single horns on the short hood forward and the left side pointing to the rear. Were both of these horns A-200s or something else? The model road numbers are 202 and 226 if that helps.

I haven’t compared the models to Phase II drawings yet, but out of the box they look pretty good. It sure is nice to have a commercial model come with correct Mars lights, headlights, steam generator, winterization hatches, heater cabinet and vent, and cab window shades. They came with LokSound 5 decoders, and my next activity is to program the long address and see how they run.
