What’s missing on the C&O AZL engine ? Or is this a slip up.  |

Not sure what you are referencing...can't tell for sure but it looks like the horn is missing?

That’s what I see too. I have 3 of these and never really noticed until now. These were produced many years ago. They may have been already addressed about this issue on the forum and I missed it. Just making sure I wasn’t blind yet. lol

Did you get them from the Black Friday sale a few years back? That may be why...seems some of the AZL BF stuff is "scratch & dent" from the Island of Misfit Toys. The ACF hoppers from 2-3 years ago had about 90% broken couplers when I got them. So, missing horns wouldn't surprise me. I got two of those C&O's but I don't recall if there are horns on them...I already resold one and the other one is in pieces right now.

I wonder if they had horns located in a different area...maybe on the side? I do notice that at least some of the Geeps in the sale have horns. Good news, it's an easy enough fix. May not be the exact horn appropriate for the loco/railroad, but it's something... www.zscalemonster.com/mt/gp35/gp35.htm |

Actually, if you look closely, you can see the horns on the UP and PRR near the dynamic break fans.

I have a C&O GP7 that I bought singly full price a few years ago, and it does not have horns or have anywhere obvious where they would be mounted. The box contained a couple of yellow pilots as the only accessories.

After reading this thread I had to go check mine. The C & O I bought several years ago doesn't have a horn and the 2 that I bought in this years BF sale don't have them either. Is this the way C & O GP7's are supposed to look like?
The BF GP7's have railing issues...

In the year or so I have been in Z, I have had several issues with various locomotives, some of which have been "scrapped" so a little gun shy to buy any more. |

I bought the MILW units 3 weeks ago, and they arrived in perfect condition. I also got the 2 dynamic brake equiped units when they were first released. They also came in perfect condition. All had their horns.

I bought items from last years BF sales and was happy with my purchases. This year, not. |
