RS11 Sound Configuration

[NW Modeling List]

Don,
The RS-11 has the V12 version of the ALCO 251B series prime mover.  My N&W equipment book designates the “as-delivered” horn as a Nathan P135R24.  On most decoders that’s going to be an “Old Cast Nathan P5” or a “Nathan P5A”.  As locomotives were shopped, sometimes they would receive whatever horn was on the shelf.  So, it’s very likely you could find RS-11’s equipped with Leslie RS5TRF horns which was the N&W standard horn for several other locomotives.  The equipment book does not have a designation for the bell.  If your decoder lacks the sounds for the V12 251B, the V12 251C is close.  I hope this answers your questions.
Cheers,
