Hey guys

Im currently building a 7 1/4" gauge Class 73 and im looking at getting some proper horns for it, Before you all jump up and down saying it wont work, it will as ive seen it done but with different horns.

Does anyone know where i can obtain a set easily??

Ive tried contacting Booths at Rotherhams but they never got back to me

Regards

Stephen

Try Booth's again, and also possibly Angel Trains who I believe still own a couple of units.

I suspect most preserved lines who have units with horns still need them!

Immingham is where a lot of the Slammers went to.

Quite an obvious answer from me but ever though about getting a sound recording I think a full size horn may not be the best thing for a 7 1/4" gauge but I do hope you find what your looking for this sounds like a great venture.

You got any of the building done yet?????

And if just a suggestion you should make it 73129 City of Winchester with the NSE livery seen as though the GWR decided to paint over it.
