I have been trying to find pictures with descriptions of what type of air horn was stop Conrail GP35s, but finding the description is proving exceedingly difficult. Anyone know? Nathan AirChime P3 horn perhaps?

I have this exact locomotive in N scale, and want to find what horn is on top of the cab, so that I can Google what it sounds like for my MRC #1812 DCC sound decoder.

You would need to know where the GP35 came from, Conrail acquired their GP35’s from the PRR, NYC, EL and RDG all of whom had different specifications for their units.

Conrail mostly used Leslie RS3Ls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqec28YWyjE

NYC and PRR GP35s had them.

I do believe John Bruce III has the winner… CR 2268, ex PC 2268, exx PRR 2268.

So, most likely, Leslie RS3L. And, from photos I could find, appears that it is.

I think it’s an ex Penn GP-35 because it’s unit #2268.

Thank you sir! Now I have to match up the horn with the sound in the Youtube video!
