Z scale horns

Thinking about my STRT 10 plans and I realized that z scale horns would probably be perfect for it.

But I'm not having luck finding a source for them. Any of you z scalers know of a source that could get me choose to these:

Ive been watching Z Line for two chime WABCO horns. Been watching for several years.

I’m looking for the same horns as Ed for some dash mountings on interurbans.

The only horns AZL offers is this set:

You may be able to work the three chime horn to make it two chime.

Yikes. Is that the only Z scale horn option out there?

The only one available as a spare part.   From AZL anyway...MTL might have something?   AZL doesn't typically stock spare parts....one of the "hidden gems" of Z.  :RUEffinKiddingMe:

Interestingly, the joint projects Marklin does with AZL (produced by AZL, marketed as Marklin) tend to find Marklin with spare AZL parts. (at least, that has been mentioned on a few occasions...I have no direct knowledge of that).   So there may be another source.

There isn't enough time or downvotes available for me to take on that question.   :P :D

So... I was thinking about using a regular Z scale three chime and modifying it for the Stewartstown 44 Tonner install. I'd think those would be the most useful to have "in stock".

But if you're doing something bespoke, I can get some better photos of the horns on #10.

I am my own personal ouroboros.

In reality, I just hit the wrong "quote" button. I meant to credit @Rivet Miscounter
