Williams nw2, Kw and 1033 transformers. “Whistle” only activates the horn. Anything I can install to turn the bell on and off as well?

Yes, the 6-5906 Lionel Sound Activation Button:
Note that your KW uses U for common, the 1033 A for common.
Since you are asking about Horn control, I'm guessing you are running relatively newer engines with sensitive electronics. Be sure you have proper current protection (breakers/fuses) and transient voltage protection (TVS Diodes) More info all over the forum, but here is a summary: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...7#149098340133171337

Can you hook that up even if you transformer has the "Whistle" & "Bell" buttons?
I can see that being a neat addition to the side of a layout for "little" hands to use. (warning: be prepared to hear it a lot.)
@GVDobler, yes you can use it instead of your transformers controls. Just be aware that ALL the track power for the given block/loop should pass through the button for full coverage.
Hmm, not gonna be able to send all track power through it as it’s set up in blocks. Williams locomotives. Thanks for the info
@C_Murley, you simply wire it in before the block distribution switches to get full coverage.
Oh........ wow! Yea....... long day today hahaha

ok, so lemme see if i understand this right. the horn function (whistle) on the kw works fine, so i only need one of those buttons. if i wire it one way it will blow the horn, if i reverse the red and black it will ring the bell?
@C_Murley, you got it!
boom!
