I hate to be the one asking the simple questions, but what was the Trojan system? I've heard about it before but never knew where it was located.
It might just be the camera angle, but it looks like the core is shorter than other Model 7s. It it actually shorter?
Oregon, I looked it up!
I looked at the Oregon map, and it seems the system was on the coast. Was it a nuclear bomb system or for severe weather?

I think it was for a power plant

Trojan was a power plant system for the former Trojan Nuclear Plant. It ran from early-1981 (started installation in late-1980) and pursued until late-1993 (with the plants closure in January 1993).
PGE decided to sell the sirens for about ~1K a piece from 2001 records show. Tillamook was a big buyer of most of the Trojan sirens as 90% of their tsunami system came from the Trojan plant. Tillamook also purchased more to be used for their dam system as well.

Like what Sam said I am also having a very hard time believing that this is Ex-Trojan. Trojan's siren literature is as follows:

I must ask, who told you that this was Ex-Trojan in the first place? The fire department? Is there any control panels to the siren? Any show of the circular metal site-tag on all Trojan sirens?
I'll still give you some benefit of the doubt as maybe after-all Trojan randomly summoned a Model 7 - the system itself is just odd at times.

Yes the fire station said that it was ex Trojan and I don’t know what the outside tag looked like because it doesn’t exist anymore and it had been inactive for a while because it was locked up and the controls were removed for some reason idk why and sorry if this sounds fake because it isn’t

Is this ALL of the Trojan sirens or is this just a list of some of them???

How do you know that it is actually ex-Trojan? As far as we know Curry county never received any sirens from the TNPP system. Do you have any photos of the shroud or any tags that were on it? Until you post those I’ll have a hard time believing this isn’t some random 5, there are lots of holes in your claim. It would also not be a Model 7, but a Model 5 by Federal Signal’s convention at the time of installation.
The tag literally says it has a 7 HP motor, so it’s a model 7.

The Model 7 did not exist in 1981 when Trojan’s sirens were installed at the earliest. Federal Signal had long before dropped the 5HP siren from their lineup and at that point were calling their 7.5 HP shrouded omni siren the “Model 5”. If you had done an ounce of research you would have found any of the dozens of tag photos of Model 5s from the 1980s that say “5”, or found the literal manual published by Federal Signal themselves, as the top result on the first page of Google.

Yes the 1982 descriptor of the system. You don't see the Whelen sirens here because those didn't come until 1984.
