I was wondering where would i find the extra detailing parts for these cars. I want horns & the black piece that normally goes around the doors where conductors & passengers walk between the cars. Sorry I do not know the name of it. I know they are already on the Walther's Amtrak kits that were released afer 2001....

Any information that you guys may have would be greatful, thanks...

Unless there is a newer modern name, its a diaphram.

Diaphragms can be purchased as a separate part... search the Walther's catalog.

If you want to make diaphragms for your Horizon cars, these are usually made out of stiff rubber... which can be simulated with black shrink tubing, available from Radio Shack and other sources...
