Back on Monday January 25th, almost 2 weeks ago, I happen to chase this train which I didn't think I would. NS GP38-2 #5626 has a very good sounding Nathan 5 Chime P5 Horn. Please enjoy.

Well, count me out as I sure do NOT like "train horns"! Steam whistle of any, and all, kinds are great.

Hot Water, I do understand what you mean. Whistles do sound better then horns. But my all time favorite horns is the RS2A, which I own one and an RS5T. Other then that, 5 Chime Whistles I do like. But here's the video below of a 4 Chime Brass Whistle, Leslie 2 Chime RS2A and a Imitation K3LA, I do own. But another horn I like, is the RS3L. But my favorite whistles are the Crosby 6 Inch 3 Chime, PRR 3 Chimes, & Rio Grande 5 Chimes.
And here are the 2 videos I got from the Youngstown Whistle Blow from 2014.
Did SRR connect a steam whistle to a steam generator of an E8, at least for a short period of time?

Not to my knowledge, as the steam would have damaged the diaphragm in the air horn.
Tom,
Did you see my note on the 765 Berkshire?

Kevin, yes I did. And as a matter of fact, I did find one. An MTH version. Thanks again though. And to what someone mention about steam on a horn, I've seen a video of it done, but there will ruin the diaphrams.

HW:
My memory could be bad, but I thought I saw in a TRAINS magazine a steam whistle installed in the rear over the steam generator. The horn was still in the front.
Southern Fans: Is my memory correct?
