RS-11 horn

[NW Modeling List]

I have some friends (one a locomotive horn expert and the others friends
that do professional Sound-DCC installations and modifications) working to
help us get the proper horn sound and sound files for N&W's Nathan P135-R24
horns that were used on N&W 300 series RS11's.  Here's a couple of blown up
views of RS11 horns I took during trips to Roanoke in the 70's.
