Leslie RSU3L
Title:  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
Title:  Leslie Bells

Disassembled RS3L
Title:  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.

Title:  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.
