I believe the silverliner 2 and 3's have a AA2 horn, silverliner 4's having the same horn as on the LIRR and Metro North Rail Road, and the Silverliner 5's having a k3la horn. Is that right?
Yep. One of the doors on each double set has the built-in bridge plate for wheelchair access. That door also does not have a trap for low platforms. The reasoning behind the double was to speed boarding as well.
Anyone know why Septa has two doors on the B end of the silverliner 5. Wouldn't the space for the second door be better used for seating or bathrooms. If nothing else,it looks dumb! Nice horns though
First off, those Vs are the ugliest things to roll on rails, but their horns aren't too bad. But the Wabco horns on the Budds will always be the best for sentimental reasons.
SWEETNESS!!!!

I'm still undecided on what papermodel of the Silverliner should I do. Should I go for the II, III, IV or V? Please help me Jonh! ^_^
Anyone here is also welcome.
About this vid? It's on my faves, with 5 stars in! ;)

Nice horns on the Silverliner Vs. Though the older-cast K3LAs sound better.

At 2:10 the train has a chocked horn, but damn those S-V's have great horns!
