I’ve been a lurker around here for awhile now. Thought I’d say hello from the land of 10,000 lakes! Got me a p3 2 yrs ago. Our local railway had 2 locomotives that had been sitting for over a year. I drove by at the right time! They were getting ready to scrap one out. I preceded to ask about the p3. He told me it was just gonna get thrown into the aluminum pile, so I asked if icould have it. They told me to come back in an hour. I went back, he handed me the horn, asked if that’s what I wanted. I said you bet! Now this was given to me, and I knew it was worth something. I handed him a $100 bill. The look on his face was priceless!! He said great that’ll cover our bar tab tonight!!!
Anyways, thought I’d share that story. I recently got around to playing with the p3. It sounded sick. I opened it up, 2 of the 3 bells had a bunch of oil water and corrosion in them… one of the diaphragms is shot, and the seals are looking cracked and dry.
Where can a guy find new seals, gaskets and diaphragms for a p3?
