[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dharmon albeit at a lesser amount than if they were mounted on a leading edge...or in this case at the front of the cab. But if the radiant heat from the prime mover is helping to anti-ice or de-ice the working parts, combined with removing it from the leading surface.....that makes more sense to me.... [/quote] leading edge anti-ice de-ice leading surface Gee Dan, you sound LIKE a pilot [}:)] [;)] [:p] lol, I don't like DE-ICE. To me why let the problem "build up" and THEN take care of it. That is why anti-ice has become more popular, it prevents the problem in the first place as you well know. Beside the de-ice boots are a pain to deal with, and care for. So back to trains . . . the horn away from the front of the loco is basically an "anti-ice" feature. But in this case more of an anti-snow idea. Did't the valve in the horn sometimes freeze in the winter? It seems like I have heard stories about that.
