This is the most accurate recording of an M3H the web master has heard so far. His M3H was tuned by Ken Lanovich, and sounds just like this one. This Holden M3H belongs to Eric Marks. |

The M5 was first produced in 1950 as a refinement of the H- The first M5's made in 1950 looked like the one at left. The horn bells are perfectly round where they meet the manifold (or base). Subsequent refinements in 1951 resulted in so- The M5 was the common horn on the Western Pacific, Southern, Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, Richmond Fredricksburg & Potomac, Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio, and other eastern railroads. Southern Pacific had M5's on many of their passenger service locomotives. The Western Maryland Railroad had pairs of M5's on many of their cab units. No railroads are known to have purchased M5's in recent years, but they can still be purchased new...for a price. The horn pictured at left was bought new from Nathan in 1999.
Many other variations were possible, though, even from the factory. These included A major dominant 6th (C#, E, F#, A, C#), The M-

M5 with 3/16" orifices. The M Series horns, unlike other train horns, are tuneable by adjusting the end caps. This one still needs some adjustment on one bell according to the author. |

Ray Weart comments: This clip is of my L&N round base M5R24 with a WC GP40 installed underneath in 1999 it back when we ran our road local on Sundays. A good friend of mine got this on tape thankfully; I only wish he could have gotten more of them as this was not the only time I did this. |

The M3 was first produced in 1950 as a derivative of the M5. As with the early M5's, the first year of M3 production featured bells that were round where they joined the manifold (or base), such as the horn at left. In 1951, the design was modified to the so- The M3RT1 is a variation of the M3 in which the #1 bell has an elliptical flare and is angled upward 10 degrees from horizontal. It is believed that this modification was made for the Delaware & Hudson so the horn could be mounted on the "shelf" in front of the cab of their Alco RS- Factory tuning for the M3 was: A major triad (C#,E,A). Over time as a result of use, C#,D#,A, C#,E,A#, and C#,D#,A# dischords were common.
The M3 suffered the maintenance problems common to all M- Airhorn for Modesto & Empire Traction GE 70- |

The M3H was introduced in the early 1950's to comply with Canadian regulations that mandated the D# minor chord for locomotive horns. The horn used bells #2, 3, and 4 from the M5 fitted with the #1, 2, and 4 power chambers respectively. The picture illustrates an all bells forward M3H produced by AirChime licensee Holden Ltd.
The M3H has been largely supplanted by the low-
