Lionel 6-18010 Turbine volume control?
Posted by arkady on Tuesday, August 29, 2023 6:19 PM

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the steam turbine sound volume on a Lionel 1991 PRR S2 steam turbine?  I like the turbine hiss effect, but it seems to have only two volume settings: Off and Loud Blast!  Is it even adjustable at all?

Well, just in case there's anyone else out there who's wondering the same thing, I can now tell you the secret: Almost hidden beneath the tender drawbar is a silver screw that looks as if it's holding something together.

It isn't.  That's the volume-control screw.  Counterclockwise lowers the volume.
