Questions on Postwar Diesel Horns
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, September 12, 2005 4:14 PM




I am looking into buying a 623 A.T.&.S.F. or Chesapeake & Ohio 624 Switcher.

Do these diesels have horns in them?

If not, what Diesels, besides F3's have horns in them. I would like to buy a diesel with a horn to complement my 2055 Hudson.

No horns in the 623 and 624. The Trainmasters, Alcos, and GP7s have horns, although some model numbers may not. For details, check

601 Seaboard (1956)
602 Seaboard (1957-58)
616 Santa Fe (1961-62)
617 Santa Fe (1963)
621 Jersey Central (1956-57)
