My Federal Q2B Siren Setup! 

Always wondered how the brake worked, thanks Bud 🍻🚒🚨

7:42

Hi. I am one of your blind viewers. I am absolutely obsessed with Federal Signal Q2 be. I absolutely love the sound. Would you be able to do a video of you doing a full rather and just letting it wind down completely without the break?😅😅😅

I also rescued riley McMurray with that loudest fire engine siren made by 1982

so i wouldn't have to run 2 separate solenoids. ? i thought I had to run 1 for the brake and 1 for the siren.. help

Awesome video! I don’t see where the brake wire is connected... is there a way you could show how/where the brake wire is connected? I have all the parts, just like your set up, but I just would like to see the wiring. Thank you!

What kind of wire do you use? I’m no electrician and I want to do this with mine!

Nice video, I used a 30 amp relay a little bit smaller but works. That switch can be found from a 1961 ford falcon ... really any old ford will do.

Hi. I am one of your blind viewers. Where were you able to find your federal QB? Would you be able to do a video of you letting it wind up all the way and then doing the break but in an environment where it won’t piss off your neighbors.

Original definitely better than the electronic eq2b

What fuse would you use for this

Hello 23027, I'm rebuilding a q2b B or C series, and I have a couple questions if you if your're available. Thanks.

Esta a la venta ? Ocupo una para mi fire truck

Hi!! Have you the wiring diagram? Thanks

Q-Siren mounted on a van

model 28 is a direct drive siren so it will not coat down like the Q

Just checking how is a used Q2B worth i have used one Thanks Kevin 💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

#23027 Can you make a video on how to make that setup because I’m getting a q2b soon

So you can run a q at 12 volts? What's the amps and what does it do to your battery

how i can get this ? price ?

Were did you get it i need one and for how much

0.45 minutes what is the name of the thing

4:56 Make A Higher Pitch Sound Like Osaka Motor Siren

You sell?

Your Model 28 does not roll or coast. They never did. Just on or off. The operator was good if he could respond without the siren ending the revolutions.

Here is my Q2B hobby fun setup! I used an 8 dollar Ford 4 terminal starter solenoid, and 2 low voltage 12v switches I bought from Lee's Electronics. LONG LIVE THE FEDERAL Q! Fast forward to 7:42 to get right to a little action! There is truly nothing like it. No matter how hard companies and departments try it can never be recreated or made more "efficient". I personally don't understand why anyone feels it needs to be removed. It works. And been proven to work for over 100 years.. It is dead simple. Why are there people (Dare I say the majority being people that don't use these for their purposes of work) trying to re-invent the wheel..? There is nothing about being "stuck in tradition" that follows this type of siren. The fact of the matter is that it works better than anything else that is tried. This mechanical siren has no need to be "modernized". End of rant. I'll upload a video of my Model 28 when I am done rebuilding it! Enjoy :)
