Currently when I press the Whistle button on my transformer, my tender creates the whistle sound. Will this still work if I add this car?

It should. They will probably sound off at the same time, though, but it still sounds OK overall.
1356978
Yes, I gave my grandchildren the set two years ago and last year I gave them the Coach w conductor and the whistle work just fine.

announcement comes on with bell button, not whistle. Pushing Bell will trigger announcement and bell, pushing bell again will trigger announcement again, and turn off bell sound.

It's an ON/OFF switch and even though it makes an click sound the click sound is not present in your signal. also the three way switch for hall, spring, or room settings is silent when switched. I've had this pedal for almost a year and it works very nice and sounds great. The only problem I have had is this pedal doesn't like one of my wall wart transformers. Why? I don't know it just makes a feedback noise with the one transformer but works fine with four others that I have and the transformer it doesn't like works fine with all my other pedals so who knows I just never use the two together and that solves the problem.

Mine does not work either. Turns out the transformer for my bell is 10v 5a, the transmitter instructions says it needs 16v 10a. You can buy a new 16v chime and transformer kit for under 20$... or get a completely wireless setup instead.

Mine too. I rad another Lionel owners manual (different train) and it stated only the whistle works. Glad to hear I'm not the only one that noticed that.

I don't know anything about how to attach a whistle, what U need to attach it, etc., etc. I never knew U could buy 1 to attach. Good luck!

you need to get a separate button and install it. You could probably wire it into the care horn but i didn't try that

Mine is on my Harley, fastened it to original horn mount. At 1st there was hardly any sound out of it, so I added a horn relay (5.99 from Autozone) which puts 12v from battery right to horn, you still use MC horn button to activate. Now its blasts loud!

This model did not work for my grille because of the 4 terminals. Amazon has more choices under "spark generator". That is where I got my 6 terminal igniter/generator. However, with the 6 terminal all hooked up, the button on the front of the grill didn't work. I discovered that the battery cap is a spring loaded contact button. That works. There are no instructions or any information with these. Go to spark generator and put in 6 terminals. That should get you one that works.

I am told it worked fine, I sent it to my nephews. I do know that it does not need to be charged it should work the moment it is plugged in. BUT the whole thing is one circuit. If one piece is not properly connected the whole thing will stop. Make sure each piece of track is connected properly and and everything is correctly plugged in. The only issue I was told of is that the 5 year old got a little frustrated the first time as the cars came off on each turn. When the 4 year old tried rather than pulling the trigger all the way down he pushed it down less, which makes the cars slower so it stays on the track. Once they realized they needed to slow down in the turns they fell in love with it. I am told it worked fine, I sent it to my nephews.

It might but probably not as as simple as it sounds its not a yes or no answer. There are other ways to determine if the door bell is bad or another component BUT one would have to physically look at your door bell itself to see how that door bell button is configured. Mainly because this tester is basically a light bulb with a clip and a probe attached to it. As such it needs a positive voltage on either the probe or the clip and a negative or return on the other. Were you to connect this to your door bell all you would be doing would be connecting it to 2 points on the same positive wire as the negative( which you have to have in order for the tester light to come on) is a straight wire that goes from the ringer back to the door bell transformer BUT it might be behind the door bell winger. A typical door bell has 2 wires that when the door bell is pressed make a physical connection and allow the low voltage ( 6 to 28volts) to pass thru the button and go to the bell- ringer- chime and that makes noise. These hand held testers like this are generally used around automobiles & such where the negative (return) is the car battery which is physically connected to the vehicle body and you can attach the clip to any clean metal surface. Door bell buttons usually outlast the other parts of the system... Transformer and chimes typically go bad first.

My side electrodes were stuck too and would not fit into my cigarette lighter. I was angry. I then used a pair of channel locks to squeeze the side electrodes and now they are flxible and the unit works fine with my car's FM radio. If you don' have channel locks, use pliers. Squeeze the two side electrodes until they become flexible.

Mine also makes a very annoying high pitch noise. My Braun OralB toothbrush has a similar transformer but does not make a noise. I'm going to contact Braun.

Yes. It's got solenoids and one button goes ding dong and the other just ding. Or maybe dong. I've had no problems with it since I installed it.

It has a transformer, but I would not waste you time on this, the cars don't stay on the track. So you have to stop every 2 minutes to put them back. We got tired of picking them up.
