Two Standard Gauge Questions

To all,

I have been looking for answers to some questions I have been dealing with, and I realized I have a set of knowledge that I have not tapped into (this forum). I have a restored 10E that I would like to add a horn. It does not have to be elaborate or any fancy sounds, but one of the repair people I talked to locally did not think any were suitable. Would a postwar horn off an E-5 work? Also, I have a 318E that hesitates when changing direction, but only in one way. If I have going forward and try to reverse it, it will attempt to do so, but if I cycle thru the process a second time, it is fine. It is a Lionel Classic model so it is fairly new. Thank you all for whatever information you can render on this topic.

Keep on training,

Mike,

I don’t see where there’s room in a #10E for a PW horn. You’d probably be better off trying (gulp) a modern electronic horn.
