Just purchased a new wbb nw2.
Very nice. However there are a few things I'd like to alter.

1. Blue led headlights - assuming that i can find a white or yellow in the same size. Will do a search

2. Priime mover sounds - not crazy about this. Would prefer just to have horn and bell. Any way to deactivate just the prime mover sound effect?

You may have to go to True Blast 2 unit for just horn & bell feature. I don't know how to disable any sounds other then the whole unit being dis-connected by taking the plug-in out of it's socket.

 

If you try to disable the sounds you might void the warranty.

If you purchased a NEW WBB NW2, it already is equipped with True Blast II (with both horn and bell).  Early pre-Bachmann Williams NW2 diesels were equipped with bell only.  Actually, I think that that bell sounded nicer than the newer bell that comes with True Blast II.  But there was no horn with the older unit.  Later pre-Bachmann Williams came with horn AND bell, just as Williams by Bachmann does.  However, I have encountered a few WBB diesels lately where the horn/bell sound board sounds scratchy or doesn't work properly or at all.  Sometimes this is an easy fix; sometimes it is not.

 

And it is indeed a great little runner, and very solidly built besides.  I have both WBB and pre-Bachmann versions, and they all run well, although the older units seem to run a bit more slowly.  That is likely due to the different factory motors used.
