Quillable diesel

try tapping on the whistle/horn button. I believe ones with playable whistles/horns, turn blue and add the playable sounds. My steam does anyways.

I don't have a playable horn on a diesel yet, so I'm unsure if they act the same as the steamers?

Thanks for the suggestion, but no matter what I’ve tried the softkey isn’t there.
I’m starting to think this unit doesn’t have the quillable horn.

Ooops, I thought you were using the app.

What softkey label are you looking for? Did you look under the more tab?

Yes, I was looking for the SPW key and I checked the more tab.
I appreciate the suggestions.

Sounds like it's not there. Send an email to MTH sales or service.

For what it's worth, in the real world, modern diesels do NOT have "quillable" air horns, as they are activated by an electric push button on the Engineer's control stand, or the Conductor's desk. Thus, the air horn is either off or on full blast.

I filed a service request to see if it really is a feature on this unit.
I realize it’s probably not realistic, I just wanted to see it work if it was included.

and yet the "other brand" users brag about how their control allows for more playability. Some units sound like a donkey to me. I posted that and it was deleted at the speed of light!

I use the playable whistle on Legacy for steam, not so much for diesels.

I merely asked if the quillable horn on my diesel was correct and all I got were scolding comments. I described mine as sounding like a sick moose. Good to know that it's not prototypically correct.

To be correct, the "quillable" horn is not prototypically correct for MODERN diesels. If you have models of earlier diesels, i.e. GP7/GP9/F7/E8/GP30/GP35 for example, then the "quillable" would be correct.

What about the F3’s? Would quillable be prototypical for them?

Yes. I failed to list every single "older" style diesel units, such as Alco, Baldwins, FM, or GEs. Pretty much any real diesel/electric units manufactured prior to the late 1970s, would generally have a "quillable" air horn.
