Leslie RS3K Parts Horn (3D Printed 48 Bell)

Me and a friend decided to piece together an RS3K using various parts from our existing horns... We took the manifold, power chambers, and 31 bell from his RS3L, and the 37 bell from my RS5T. I was able to 3d print a working 48 bell from a set of Leslie models I found online, and here's the result. I can say for sure I was not expecting it to sound this good

Had always wondered if 3D printed leslie parts would work.

I think Norfolk Southern had a lot of these in the 90s and early 2000s. And I'm pretty sure they still do. I would always hear these as a kid in the 90s, did Nathan airtime came out with the sandcast K3L that almost plays the same triad.

Might be thinking of BN they were the main user of the RS3K. NS never really had them, but they did have a lot of RS3Ls

Where were you able to find the parts and scale it? properly? I have a project I want to try

I removed it altogether in Fusion 360 and managed to stuff a real one in the hole. Everything else should automatically print the correct size. (keep in mind these are not my models)

Sounds fantastic! Any chance we’ll get some static recordings? I’d love to have this horn for Run8

[@Traincrash101]

I actually did get one, I’ll have to upload it!
