Horn and whistle controls

ChooChoo1972OGR Forum Member

Hi all, I have two loops of track being controlled by an MTH z4000 running in conventional mode. The z4000 has buttons for horn and whistle. I would like to add some additional horn and whistle control buttons at at least two other points on the layout. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

thanks

How about the Z4000 remote control receiver and handheld unit?

thanks but I am thinking about something I can permanently mount to the side of my layout that guests can discover and play with. I do have one of those remotes around here though. Did Lionel ever make a horn and whistle controller? If so would that work?

thanks

You can make an external controller described here

Use relay contacts instead of a switch and wire as many push buttons as desired to work the relay coil.
