The loco should already have (not so) true blast installed when you receive it.
Can you still order the Williams sound system? The last time I looked (just a few days ago) the Williams parts list was severely limited from the already limited choices it used to be.
The long-long-short-long horn is the horn sound for Williams's True Blast II board and yes, it will be in the locomotive. I am going to remove it and upgrade either to True Blast Plus or ERR's RailSounds Commander. True Blast Plus is Williams's newer polyphonic sound board, meaning it can play multiple sounds at the same time. Like with RailSounds, the horn lasts for as long as you press the horn button and you can play it while the bell is ringing. True Blast Plus also has prime mover sounds that increase in revs as the track voltage increases.
I've read of complaints that the FA True Blast Plus sounds are not very loud. Are they comparable to the those of the GP30 and/or the GE 70-tonner? Contrary to others, I have found them to be load enough. Other than cutting out during direction changes, the GE 70-tonner's bell is hard to hear over the prime mover. How does the FA's True Blast sound compare?
