Original Authentic Classic Lionel Whistle Sounds
& More
QSI combined Classic Lionel Sounds with reliable electronics
Get your original Lionel Steamer running reliably and predictably
with a QSI After Market Sound System equipped with the QS2p-314 sound set.
You get not only the original Blower Whistle sounds (cleaned up) but also get the original
Lionel Steam Switcher Bell and the original American Flyer Chuff,
and of course the all timer favoirt: the E-unit Buzz.

To check out these sounds, go to:
Sound Sets: Sound Sets, QS2p & QS-3000
and search down the page to -314.
Click the blue "-314" link to listen to these Classic sounds.

Not only is the whistle clear
but also the sounds from 2 other locos,
 for the bell & Chuff
 all in the same package.

With the whistle sound solved, there is no need for the blower whistle in the tender,
which leaves room to install the QSI After Market Sound System.

See: Sound Syst & Ops Prices: After Market Snd Syst
and drop down to Paragraph 3.

Have an original coil coupler on the tender?
With the QS2p, you can
Operate it from your transformer
and eliminate its random opening
when crossing switches, cross tracks or Remote Control Sections
Just add a coil coupler driver to your QSI Sound system order
then use your transformer controls to operate it.
 Must insulate the slider's pressure spring from the shoe.
See: Paragraph 15 on the page mentioned above.

As with all QSI After Market Sound Systems, this one also plugs into a reverse unit.

See: AC&DC Motor Reverse Units:
AC Motor Reverse Units
Paragraph 8.

For AC motors, you will be looking for the ACRU-LPS
Since a sound system is plugged in, you can choose the OEM version,
which will save you $11.25.
Paragraph 11.
