[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rexhea Antonio, all my E7's and the E6 BLI's have the exact same horn. The book that came with them said that all QSI diesel horn's were recorded from an "E5?" [/quote] Anyone have any data on what horns the machines in question (GP 9, E6, and so on) were equipped with? With digitrax you have some selection of horn, and I am almost sure I read that the different roads might have different horns on the same motive power, and elsewhere someone suggested engines would have different horns depending on purpose (mainline/yard/branch, or freight/passenger). So could one geep have a single chime, while another a five-chime? or (though these names signify nothing to me) a Nathan K3 on one, a Leslie S3 on another. (could I hear the difference on the real thing? the model?) Certainly a Wabco single chime I expect to distinguish from a Nathan M5 (5 chime) Wouldn't it be a plus if we could configure the horn? (as on the Digitrax LC series, allowing a selection between 1, 3 and 5 chimers; in other ways, including most importantly sound generation, these decoders are probably a lower class than the QSI in BLI or LL. (from opinions I have seen LC vs DSD).) Thanks for any insights. I have yet to invest in sound, having purchased only some inexpensive DCC-equipped locos for my young son. - Scott.
