Description
This control board replaces the battery and shaded pole relay used in postwar Lionel Diesel locomotives. It can also be used to add a horn to locomotives that did not have one originally. This is a new manufactured item. It operates with transformers with a whistle lever or button and with battery operated whistle buttons. It is polarity sensitive so you may have to reverse track wires for successful operation. Requires a working, properly adjusted horn. This board only switches the horn on and off with horn or whistle button. It does not generate sound. One customer has successfully used a 5vdc version of my board to power a PEMENOL voice playback module and speaker to add sound to an American Flyer boxcar. See photos. Instructions included. This particular board is built for D-cell (1.5V) horns. Other voltages can be configured. Contact me before ordering if you need a 6 or 9 volt unit. If you are using an MTH controller/transformer setup please contact me before ordering. This board will not work with some MTH controllers. Please see my other auctions for: Lionel Universal Whistle relay - Runs AC or DC whistle in Lionel tenders. Lionel Teledyne relay - Replaces whistle relay in Teledyne setups. Replacement for Lionel relay used for whistles, horns and couplers (activated by whistle/horn or bell button). If you are unsure of which board is appropriate to repair your train, please feel free to contact me for assistance. I can help you decide what is the best way to fix your train.
