Sanger and Valleyview, TX Siren Pictures 11-7-15

[TboltTX1]

Here are a few pictures I took in Sanger and Valleyview, TX over a week ago and just now got around to uploading.

This siren is the replacement for the T-135AC which was blown over during a severe windstorm over a year ago. I must admit I'm disappointed that Sanger didn't go with a new T-135AC/DC.


I remember from Dillon's thread awhile back that the old T-135AC was dumped somewhere in town near the railroad tracks.

However, I wasn't sure specifically where it is/was and didn't feel like driving all over town to look for it.

After that, I went to see if the P-10 was still up on the west side of town, sure enough it was. All the trees around it made it difficult to get a good clear picture of it.


After stopping by the P-10 I decided to go up to Valleyview and check on the Thunderbolt Eric (CDV777-1) restored for them awhile back. The paint has faded and flaked off considerably since the last time I've seen it, but that is to be expected in Texas weather.


On the way back from Valleyview, I spotted another recent T-128 installation on the north side of Sanger off I-35 that I wasn't able to get a picture of.

Nice photo's - I prefer T-128's over T-135AC/DC's, but that's just me

I look at Dillon's thread, and I notice the T-135 that was blown down was a AC(the kind that is like a p50) shame But you should've asked Dillon were it was!

I hope that old pig at Valley View still works. I haven't been up there in a few years.
I wouldn't call what I did to that siren a "restoration." I can't believe that was 10 years ago..... :\
I pieced that thing together with what parts they had and painted over the old paint and that was about it.
I'm surprised that it's held up as well as it has. :TBolt:
