I want to revive this thread:
2. How many engine blocks does a genset have?
What kind of genset? Early on some had 2 and some had 3. My understanding is that the generator sets weren't durable enough for railroad needs.

1. What horn does a Siemens charger have? (Include the make too)
K5LA model built by Nathan Airchime (I am embarrassed that I responded to a horn question)

Here's a geography question.
In all of the 50 states in the USA, what letter of the alphabet does not appear in any of them?

The letter Q is correct. X appears in Texas and New Mexico. Z only appears in Arizona, J in New Jersey, and P in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Mississippi.

2. How many engine blocks does a genset have?
5. What horns did Nathan and Leslie make exclusively for Amtrak?
I think these two remain unanswered so I will take a guess:
2. Zero
5. Airchime K5LA horn

There isn’t a standard set number. Most have three. Several only two. At least one model has four.
