DIESEL SOUND SYSTEMS
for conventional DC operators, DCC
operators, Other receivers, 1½" and others, or Stationary use!
DIESEL SOUND for your model
train that will fit HO and larger
locomotives. Featuring remote
operation of the Horn and Bell
where you want it and when you
want it! Real motor sounds, with
true 8 notches like the real thing.
We offer actual raw, pure,
appropriate sounds recorded
from the locomotives. Just like
it's suppose to be. Operate your
railroad locomotive with the correct sounds instead of
inappropriate sounds. While some Horn's aren't very
pleasing to be heard, they are indeed correct! Horns are
warning devices designed to get your attention, not
something that is to be a pleasurable sound.
With our sound systems you can actually produce real
Horn play patterns to signal exactly what the locomotive
action is going to be or signal for a grade crossing, station
stop, or departing from the station. The Horn will play as
long as you request it to play. No canned play patterns
here! Operate the real BELL with the motor running. Hear
the BRAKE RELEASE as your locomotive starts to pull out.
While checking for other sounds, listen for the
COMPRESSOR RELIEF VALVE while your at idle or are
running down the tracks. Real motor sounds, with a full 8
notches like the real thing. Force full rpm (notch 8) at any
time to make that heavy load up the grade or simply to
pump up the air tanks while sitting still. All sounds from
actual recordings.
Realism at it's best!
Simple installation in some powered units or in a dummy
unit (even a box car will do). You can also use this sound
system as a stationary unit. Wire it to our 22 watt amplifier
and a large, 10" or larger speaker, to shake the walls with
our EMD systems.
Prime mover sounds available are the ALCO (both Road
Engine and Switcher Engine), BALDWIN, EMD,
FAIRBANKS MORSE, and GE with a choice of various
horns. The horn selection consists of the Leslie 3 chime
(most commonly used horn in North America), Leslie S3K,
Leslie 5 chime, Nathan K3, Nathan K5L, Nathan P5,
Wabco E2, and a single chime. The horn type must be
selected with the motor type upon order. Since some prime
movers would have only used early type horns we do not
offer later type horns as a selection.
The DIESEL SOUND SYSTEM is available with different
horns and prime mover sounds. These sound systems are
designed and assembled in the U.S.A. offering long term
reliability and support. Please refer to the following pages
and the price schedule for additional types not shown in the
catalog. If you don't see yours there we just might be
working on it or if the need is there we just might possibly
do it for all requesting it! Don't forget to also select a
proper speaker (see page 6) for your sound unit selection.

Instruction Sheets.
Extra Facts - all of the early diesel prime movers are offered
with the LESLIE A-200-156 horn .
Per excerpts from "EXTRA 2200 SOUTH" issue 49, page
25 (November - December 1974): The WABCO E-2
and LESLIE A-200 and A-125 were extensively used with
first generation cab units and road switchers . . . . . . . The
voice of the LESLIE A-200-156 is best characterized as the
sound of the classic GG-1.
