Leslie RSU3L |
Description: |
WOW what a find! Seen on WIR GP30 #20. The U Leslie manifold was the ultra low profile manifold, it is about the only multi chime horn that will fit in this spot on a GP30. This horn also has a non standard bell arrangement, with the #44 and #31 bells swapped places and the #44 facing forward and #31 reversed. UPDATE!!!!! On 2/1/2010, this horn was stolen from Marshall WA. The railroad is offering a reward for it's return, or information leading to it's return. |

Leslie Bells |
Description: |
All 6 of the post 1953 bells made by Leslie. From left to right, we have no. 55 C#, no. 48 A#, no. 44 A, no. 37 F#, no. 31 D#, no. 25 C. (The 25 bell is advertised as playing a B, in reality it plays a C) The sliver thing is a 12 inch ruler for size compassion. |

Disassembled RS3L |
Description: |
A fully disassembled RS3L. Going with the paper tags we have A bells, #25, #31 & #44. B Low profile 3 chme manafold. C Power chambers, this is the only thing that actually makes noise. (The power chambers could be taken apart further, each one will disassemble into a back cap, body & diaphragm, but I don't feel a need to take apart a working power chamber.) D 9/16th bolts & lock washers, 3 per bell. E Leslie horn gasket, two per bell, one between bell & manifold, one between power chamber & manifold. F Head doughnuts, these go inside the power chamber between the PC and the bell. |

UP is one of the only roads I see to put the shower caps on their horns, it makes sense from a maintenance stand point though. More roads should do it! Mounted on UP 1242. |

Pirme 990! |
Description: |
First time I have ever seen a Prime in service. You can tell it's not a Leslie by the thicker manafold & power chambers, as well as the ribs on the sides of the bells. I wish I could have heard it too! Mounted on MRL 132. |
