Atlas air horn part

I need two air horns, one for a SD-50 (broken) and one for a SD-60 (missing).  Their exploded diagram shows 490204 as the part number.  However, I can not find that part number no an air horn for SD-50/60/60M on their website.  There are air horns for other models but none for SD-50/60/60M.

Can I use an air horn from another model that would fit?  Which one(s)?  I'm assuming it comes in gray and you will have to paint it?

I need both in Conrail if that matters.

The GP40-2 uses the same horn.  I didn't see one listed there either.  There's a high probability it will only come in black, btw.

Thanks!  A lot of coats of Conrail blue to cover black!   :scared:

Dust on a coat or two of light gray or white primer then do the Conrail blue.

Catt, I was thinking along that line.  I gave Atlas a call on Friday at 4:32pm.  Repair guy would know if they have the parts left at 4:30pm so I'll have to wait until Monday.  Can't find any available to order on their website.  It would be great if in his "draw of spares" he has a Conrail one lying around!  :)

Try the Kato three chime. I think it actually looks nicer too.

Thanks for the suggestion Ed.  I may even have one lying around.
