I know of two AI horn triggers on the DLS -- "Sound Horn" and "HornTrigger." The only bell trigger I know of is "BellTrigger." I don't really like HornTrigger and BellTrigger because it can be difficult to figure out which way is which for the directional control. The other problem with BellTrigger is that it is only time based -- sound the bell for X seconds.
The problem here is that a real train sounds the bell based on location, not duration. At crossings, the bell is sounded until the engine is through the crossing, then turned off. It is also sounded when entering a station, until the train stops. There are a few other instances, but these are the major ones.
What's needed is a Driver command that will turn the bell on at a specific location such as a trigger, and off either when the train stops or at another trigger. Any ideas?
