Add Horn to Lionel Command Tie-Jector 81445 - Diagrams
In 2005 I began installing Electric Railroad Mini Commanders in
MTH operating cars. They worked great and were reasonably easy kits.
When I started looking for a Tie-Jector horn kit, an Electric
Railroad kit seemed to be the best option. The Electric RR kits had
changed in 12 years and I had no idea what to order to make up a
kit. When it comes to electronics installations I am strictly
a "dot to dot" person. With a complete kit and wiring diagram
I'm reasonably safe.
Thanks to Jim Sandman I was able order the correct Electric RR parts
to make up a kit that would work on the MOW Tie Work Car to add
sound and a backup light to my Tie-Jector. I needed a Command
receiver circuit (with antenna) and a Sound circuit kit (with
speaker). The Command Receiver (Dummy Loco Controller) circuit
I ordered is relatively new and came with an interesting diagram
(see first diagram below).

This is the Diagram that Arrived from ElectricRR with my Receiver kit. The Serial wire "talks" to the Sound Circuit.
