Z scale, heck I'm 3D printing T scale horns.  What do you need??

I need LOTS of these ! These are identical to the WABCO AA horns that Ed is looking for.

LOL!  All I see is a trolley car in that small image.  No horns. Even wit my glasses on. Maybe if you cropped the original just to focus on the horns?

I found a better image. These Wabco horns could be had with a variety of horns attached to the power chambers. These appear to be brass or tin welded or braised onto the cast iron power chanber. I have seen them with homemade tin horns and cast iron bells. They all sounded about the same.

On the front, below the window.

Never expected them to be in that location, pointing downwards.  Now that I saw the other photo I can say that I see them, but I couldn't really tell what they look like in detail (from the first photo).  I guess if one's familiar with those trolleys, you know where to look like.

That would absolutely make sense. I was wondering where those smaller than usual horns had come from.

I’ve been messing around with a pair of Atlas H15/16-44’s - tiny little horns on these. Atlas part 520204.
