There's a sound file dor the Winton 201 done for the Loksound decoders
on the Loksound group here on Yahoo. I've used it in decoders for
myself, some friends, and some customers of the store I work at
part-time. Its my understanding that it's source is the movie Silver
Streak mentioned in another response. The horn as recorded has a
ray-gun sort of sound that I can't vouch for the accuracy, but I'm
believing it came from the movie as well. The bell used is a fire
alarm bell which I understand to be accurate as well. If your guy
contacted the author of the Lok' version, perhaps he'll find the work
is already done and it becomes a matter of simply reformatting it for
QSI based decoders.
