Athearn recently released the SDP40F, if they used the correct horn, would you be able to
get one from them?  Their engine #G63951

The Amtrak SDP40Fs had three types of horns during their tenure at Amtrak. Best to consult prototype photos for reference. In the end they had split K5LAs, but Leslies as delivered etc. As mentioned Athearn would be your best bet as they have done all three horns for their SDP40Fs.

You can always modify an S5T with all bells forward if you're handy.

Athearn made both versions of the SL4T for theirs, the modified 5 chime manifold, as well as the split manidolfd, but these were never added to their detail part line.
