Title: Fog horn for Titanic
Post by: Titanic72 on November 22, 2019, 03:58:40 pm

Just looking for a decent, but not expensive fog horn generator for the up comming build of the Mantua Titanic. Hopefully I can then ward off the ice bergs. I am using a 6 chanel radio, so will have spare reciever capacity.
