Pretty neat! But a fair warning: the sound is not realistic at all. From what I heard online, it sounds more like a clock radio buzzer! At least you can adjust the pitch...
Now if you want a whistle or horn on your layout without any fancy sound-equipped features, look toward Tyco's steam whistle billboard. It uses a classic Lionel-style air whistle, but it does sound more convincing!

I found a NIB, but horn don't work. So there it sits. There is a circuit board that controls the sound, but there is not evidence of corrosion. Push button switch is very simple, and makes good contact.

British style couplings on an American freight car? Now that's kinda odd.

That is some great weathering on the dump car. I am so glad that Bob has a good place to dump.

So they basically used American style locomotives and painted them in British colors and put those British couplings on them.

A similar thing has been done here, though there seems to be less of it now than in the past. Sometimes you'll see a very foreign looking 0-4-0T with a tender tacked on the back and a little paint or an American road name to give it a bit of a familiar feel to the U.S. market.

I've even seen it in full size. This:
is one of these:
Carpe Manana!
