proto 2.0 and postwar
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 20, 2005 12:51 PM
I'm looking at getting a MTH Texas Special thats equiped with proto-sound 2.0.
Can I run that with my post war transformer type z with a 167 whistle controler, or would I do better with a KW or ZW?

You should be fine. You may also wi***o add a bell button.

How do I go about adding a bell button?
Is there another type of controler I can use instead of a 167?

Kline made a bell and whistle add on unit that went between the transformer and the track. I could not find it on their web site. I bought one from FDK Junction; however, it is packed in a box somewhere.
