There used to be a thunderbolt off of fire station 19 in Dallas but it was damaged in the 2019 June 9th storm and then the fire station was demolished shortly after and the thunderbolt head was removed but today fire station 19 is rebuilt and all is left is the pole
They should refurbish the T-bolts. There are way too many 2001s. They are just no blower thunderbolts with a model 5 rotor and a gear driven rotator, sometimes belt driven. The 2001 130 siren sound is pitched around an F# which a lot of the sirens are pitched in the B flat major scale. F# is not in the B flat major scale. The thunderbolts are so great, sure like 1 to 5 decibels quieter but c'mon Federal Signal. The Thunderbolt 1000Ts and 1003s depending on the chopper level have a D4 and F4 of 5/6 port, B flat 3 and D4 for 4/5 port. Every siren enthusiast should love the Thunderbolt siren. RIP best siren ever.
The Thunderbolt is pointed away, almost as in disgust like "That could've been ME just now. Who does this 130 think it is? It's a fat megaphone on a box. I'm a square-horned vet of 50+ years. I have the more ominous sound too. No respect for the elder sirens I tell ya"

I wish the 1000T was active again.
Cool
but is the chopper 4/5 or 5/6 on the 1000T?

I take it the 2001 replaced the thunderbolt
