Odd Request- But what the heck...
Author: BoilingMan

I'm looking for the carbody vents for an F9A. 
Did anyone ever built a Highliners A unit, but built it as an F2 thru F7 and never used the later vents?    If worse comes to worst I'll have to find the whole kit to get these vents, but before I drop 80 bucks I figured-  What the heck- maybe someone has some in their parts bin...
Thanks!
SR

Below is the style vent/louver I'm looking for-  on the panel beside the porthole windows

You could try here   https://highlinersonline.com    You can buy individual parts spues.  Item 3111 is probably what you want.

That locomotive horn must of sounded great as it appears to be one part of what was normally a muli chime horn.....it must of sounded terrible!

That may be a two chime horn usually used with an A200 most often on the GP7/9 series.

The distant shorter bell is likely hidden behind the closer one.

Probably sounds lousy.

They may have done like like they did on the GP30 where you had 2 bells on the engineer's side facing forward and a single bell facing to the rear.
You end up with the same bells as was used on a RS-3L.
