Re: [CBQ] Walthers Proto GP7 Phase II Diesels

Thanks for the horn information, Gordon. I didn't know the Q used Leslie S-2m 
horns. Good to know.

Still no response to the bell questions. Unless I hear otherwise, I'll go with 
bronze.

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.
