I need some help from some of you experts. I posted this on a the NYC Rainfan.net forum but haven’t gotten a reponse yet.
Would any of you know what type of air horn would have been used on a 1st Generation EMD FT diesel - ca. 1944? I was told by someone that is was a Wabco E2. The locomotive that I’ll be getting is special run of the Stewart FT A-B units in the NYC moniker - #1600 A-B, to be exact.
Of the six (6) DSX sound decoders that Soundtraxx has, the Wabco E2 is, in my humble opinion, the “wimpiest” - if I can use that term respectfully. I want to be prototypical but I was wondering, how much leeway would I have with using a different air horn sound - e.g. like the plain Wabco? Or, the Leslie S3? Or, the Nathan K3, M5 or P3*?
*For those interested, here’s a direct link to a web page where the sampled air horn sounds can be heard:

I do thank you for your input. [:)]
