Benjamin Maggi:
Stewart,
WOW! Thank you so very much. What I will do now is take some of the photographs I have found and use your dimensions to sketch some rough drawings. You have been very helpful!

Pete "Cosmo" Barrington:
Be sure to keep us posted with photos of your work, we'd love to see it!  ;)

Matt Latham:
And I am very late in replying. A big thank you for the measurements Stewart. It helps with my planning.

After the Annual meeting yesterday, I went for a ride which was my first behind No. 52. It was very apparent to me that when travelling south, the horn is excellent at warning the folks on the train of upcoming grade crossings! I wonder if it has been considered to add a second horn on the south end of the locomotive and aimed south so motorists on the crossing will get the full benefit of the warning....and the hearing of the passengers will be spared?

Keith

John McNamara:
There are two horns on 52 - one facing north and one facing south for exactly the reason you mention. If the south horn was not used on your trip, either the engineer forgot to use it, or it was temporarily out of order.
