PC: GP 7 horn and bell location

["Garrett Rea" <Garrett.Rea@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris:

This topic (horns, bells, and antenna for GP7s) came up on the PC Modeler
list last week.  There were several locations depending on previous owner,
date of purchase, etc.  Check the list archives for the mailings on that
topic at:  www.onelist.com

Another excellent source (and the one I cited) is the photos on George
Elwood's fallen flags site:
www.gelwood.railfan.net

Under PRR, PC, and NYC are several locomotive photos that were shot from
towers, GREAT for rooftop details, as this is how we view our models anyhow.

Here is an example, and the answer to the question of the other horn (long
hood):

The general feeling on this was the bells were located under the frame on
some units as we could not find them anywhere else.
