Nathan M5

I assembled this beautiful sounding Nathan M5 from a box of mismatched parts that came from several different horns and railroads. The pictures illustrate some of the progress this horn has made since I first assembled it. I kept it in this array of colors until almost a year ago when I finally stripped it and painted it blue.
The audio was captured in Oak Ridge, TN while the horn was mounted to SARM GP30 #1030 in Nov 07.

@misterwhelen4004 Thanks for the compliment! The horn's not for sale, but I would possibly consider it if you added a "0" the the end of your offer. ;)

how much is one of those?

[sgtfhrn]

@crazytaxi1000 A restored M5 often fetches $2K or higher on eBay.

Yes, the horn is mounted to the GP30 that's pulling the train that you hear. ;)

@RailfanTube Like it says in the description, this was on Southern Appalachia Railway Museum's GP30 #1030, a former L&N unit.

@sgtfhrn Would that GP30 by any chance be the New Hope & Ivyland GP30
