A Train Whistle for the Orange Blossom Special II

JackConrad · July 31, 2006, 02:35:44 PM

Thanks to Richard (DML), the Orange Blossom Special II now has a solid brass train whistle. So now when you see the Orange Blossom Special II coming, you just might also HEAR the Orange Blossom Special II . Wish I knew how to put the sound on here. I used a ball valve to control it and it sounds so sweet! Jack

NOpe. Just had the one that I had purchased about ten years ago and never got installed. As I recall, there is a manufacturers plate on it with model number.

Jack,
A friend of mine has the same horn,He mounted it on the front right between the wipers.
Yes they do sound good.

Personally have the Buell horns listed there. You can buy them from Buell direct for $199 (when last checked). They are very loud and have a sound all their own. Even though they have an electric solenoid, you can get different sounds by how you tap the switch. Good Luck, TomC

I have heard the Buell horns and they are loud with a distinct sound, however, I was looking for the sound from the old steam locomotives not a modern diesel train. Jack

I bult one simular to this years ago, and operated it with a exhaust bypast on my first motorhome. Still have it. It sounded verry realistic. Duane B.

I've got a set of diesel locomotive air horns. All I need now is a bus to install them on! Boys will be boys, huh?
