Can I install a WBB True Blast Plus in a MPC era Diesel?
Replies sorted oldest to newest
I've wired WBB True Blast Plus to the AC track voltage on a Williams and a Weaver engine. I just unplugged the Williams sound board power supply, and the Weaver had no sound board.
They worked just fine. For one of them (I forget which - I think the Weaver) I used a speaker that I picked up on the bay. I fit into the tank well perfectly, and I used a toiler paper roll to baffle it. I topped off the paper roll for a better baffle effect. This speaker has great dynamics (or at least my hearing aids thought so).

The TB+ is typically wired directly to track power. The connectors on the Williams reverse unit go directly to track power.
I've installed Williams True Blast horns on many MPC and older Williams diesel engines. Its an easy two wire hookup and they sound good. My only complaint that there is only one horn sound and it sounds modern. Wish they had RS-3 , F3, Geep, Alco GG1 and other horn sounds.
Thank you, I wasn't sure it would work.
Does tb plus let you blow the horn a single time or does it do the grade crossing sequence like tbii?
Does the TB horn require a DC offset to sound?
