The Siren Board

(T-128s) There are also lots of 2001s. (SRNs, an SRN*B, DCs) And on a final note, downtown should be expecting two E-Class sirens in the near ( ) future.

Thanks, that's all I wanted to know. I want to see at least one T-Bolt, the STH-10, and an SD-10. If you know of any specific locations of one of them, please PM me.

Did the 1212's ever get taken down? I am looking to acquire a 1212 or 612.

Here's some photo's from Sunday. Sorry It's a lot. :/


Station 49's old Thunderbolt (Madisonville)



The T-128 that replaced Station 49's Thunderbolt.



Mariemont's Fedelcode Model 5 at a FD.



A *FORMER* SD-10 that used to be on the Elementary School by the Fedelcode, all that remains is the stilts.



Fairfax Municipal Building's Model 5.



A re-do photo of the Wooster & Southern T-128 that replaced the Model 5 above. It's still off!



A re-do photo of the Lunkin Airport P-15 that 4J25 recorded.



A re-do photo of the Lunkin T-128 that replaced the P-15.



Once again, I'm so sorry for all these photos.

The old style 1212 in Milford from the old Zimmer power station was taken down a few years ago. As for the Fernald 1212s and 612, I know that 4 of the 1212s were removed back around 2008-09(3 in Ross Twp. and 1 on New Haven Rd. in Morgan Twp.), while all of the others are still standing as far as I know, but only 2 1212s have T-128 replacements with them(River Rd. in New Baltimore and the recycling plant at New Haven Rd. & Hamilton Cleves Rd.(OH-128)) I'm not completely certain, but I think those 4 1212s may have been scrapped afterwards, while IDK about the Milford one.

This one could be here for many more years, as it was never in the countywide system.

I believe some of the ones in Butler County are still there. Off the top of my head, the one by Blue Rock Park and the one way out 126 (forget what that area is called) should still be there. Don't know if either of them work though.

There's only one still standing in Butler County, which is the one in Shandon. Like I said, the 4 others in Butler County were all removed.

I wonder why they couldn't put new controllers on the EOWS sirens. They have a rotation option built into them.

As I recall, the 1212s that were replaced hadn't worked in years. That wasn't related to the current siren upgrade/replacement project that's taking place either - they got grant money specifically to replace those sirens. The one 612 in the system didn't work when someone went to record it in 2009 either, but it was still standing as of the latest "Birds Eye View" data from Bing.

If you're interested in that one, it's a bit off the beaten path, but here's how you get to it:
Follow US-27 north to the Ross/Hamilton exit (SR 128)
Turn left on 128 and continue south for a few miles
Turn right on Wiley Road (first street on the right south of 126)
Take the next right into the preserve and continue straight (note that Bing Maps shows this as River Road and Google's Street View of that area is 6 years old, so this may or may not be an actual road).

I went up there on 12/7/2011 and it was still there, pointing the same direction it was in 2009.
