Modern Motive Power Hits My Pike
Posted by jimhaleyscomet on Friday, September 29, 2006 4:07 PM
Modern Williams motive power hits my pike.  My first two Williams Engines and I love them!  I pull a railsounds car for horn.  What do you think?  I hope this picture below works!  Some old accessories next to new motive power.... I am sure it is prototypical somewhere.

Jim, Try posting your pictures a little bigger.  Use 500-600 pixels wide.  Yours are only 120 wide.

Yeah, that would be somewhat nicer if we could see the picture. LOL

You should not have to pull a railsounds car as most new Williams engines come with a horn unit of some sort.  The horn may not be the best but at the price for Williams I will not complain!

An MTH Z1000 transformer or equivalant should work any horn or whistle on most Williams engines.

The external Lionel sound button won't work all the features of a Williams engine, my GP-9 won't activate the bell feature with the Lionel sound button(small add on device).
