Those mechanical bells are classics though... :?

No, the union pacific's were actually 1003's. It's been known for quite a while now.

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

Well, no. They mean locomotives rather than rollingstock. That's cool the way they mounted a rare HOR siren on an old Penn Central caboose! (I've seen different videos about that siren several times.)
STOP BULLYING ME AND OTHERS!

Um... yeah, it does actually count. Rolling stock and all railroad types are welcomed by my standards. I see the "Suspended/Banned" under his name, the reasons I can see are obvious. :|

Continuing on topic, the caboose mount is a very cool idea.

Actually, my avatar Federal STL-10 is around the same distance from the Canadian National Branchline as the 2001, previously posted.

I'm going to dig in my images a bit, I might have one of the Federal 2001 siren by the Norfolk Southern Kankakee West Yard. Next time I go there, I spotted an old STH-10 on the factory/warehouse. Part of Kankakee's old system. (thanks for the the tip off) I plan to get some pictures. :)

Ah, thank you Jason! I remember that topic. For some reason, I've always had trouble finding it whenever I needed it. Bookmarked, that's for sure.

Those Milwaukee Road "bells" are actually whistles made to look like horns.
