Diesel Switcher bell

[mikemarxs]

Is it possible to replace the bell in the diesel switcher engine with a horn/bell combination? Is it an easy replacement or is soldering, etc involved?

My 44-ton unit has both.  From Wlliams!

Mike,

It sounds like you had the original True Blast Board.  It only had one sound We put the bell in the NW-2.  Current versions have horn and bell True Blast II.  Contact our service department to see if they have one available.  This is a special board because of the speaker.

Regards,

I know that you can order a new True Blast 2 horn unit that has both horn & bell features, it comes with a small two pin plug-in to fit into circuit boards.
I just got a new True Blast 2 horn unit for one of my Lionel diesels that didn't have a good horn unit. The price went up from the last time I ordered a T. B. 2 horn unit, but then that was before Bachmann bought out Williams.
