The crossing signal is "long-long-short-long", or the international-Morse-code "Q", with the last "long" held until the crossing is occupied.  Whether this device does that, I don't know.  Some locomotive engineers are creative in the extreme with their crossing signals.

I put one in a lionel 6-8956 southern dummy U36B I had to add the pickups and I also installed a light for the cab as they didn't come with anything in them. It was basicly straight forward I believe ( can if you want open it up) but I hooked one to the middle pick up and ( had to add wire ) one wire to the metal frame as its grounded to the outside wheels. (You did get a speaker hooked up to this didn't you) . It has both horn and bell if you get bell when you push horn just reverse the wires. It will blow a crossing signal which if I remember right is 3 long a short and a long or I might have it backwards. but it was a great addition for my double U36B's as all I had was light in the motorized one and nothin in the B unit.

To answer you original question yes as long as you have everything it should have a electronic board and a speaker and a cup for the speaker and mine came with 2 pieces of double sided sticky black foam real thin one for the board and one to hold the cup that the speaker goes in I never really figured out if the speaker went face in or face out it sounded great to me either way.

any more questions email me

         Has anyone tried a Williams true blast horn in a Lionel postwar diesel ? I picked one up at York and was wondering , if I could use it in a 2354 f-3 unit . There are only a black and red wire , Dosen't have instructions with it but the guy I got it from said it could be done . I don't want to blow it up , so I will ask before I try . If not I will put it another Williams engine .      Thanks       Tom
