There are audio samples at the link I sent below. Comparing the audio clip
there and remembering what I heard from the Q SW7 at IRM, they are pretty
similar. And yes, it did sound like a kazoo. I believe that this same type of
horn was used on the F and E units. Could it be that a higher air pressure was
used on these units to get a fuller sound?

Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't tell me what horns are supplied,
and neither does the BLI web site. They are identified as CV 224 values 0,
1, and 2. I listened to all three. 0 sounds awful, much like a kazoo out of
control, 1 sounds like a modern diesel horn, and 2 sounds like a kazoo under
control. I thought I could find a recording online if I knew which horn to
look for, then match it to the right CV.

Nelson,
Most Q switchers were equipped with a single note air horn, although I'm not
exactly sure which model. I'm pretty sure it was the Leslie S-200, though.
