Another Insteresting Federal Creation

[kdksiren]

I'm bouncing off the walls waiting for tomorrow to get here!

They won't test again until the last Friday in June! The 29th. It's gonna be a long month.

They're supposed to do a silent test, which is probably just a rotator test, but KDK is right, the loud test won't be for a while

Is this just a rebuilt FS 500 with a new shell or something? Because I can tell it'd sound similar to the 500.

No. It's most likely an Eclipse with a directional horn, a back, and rotator. It will sound absolutely nothing like a Model 500.

This has probably already been mentioned, but is the rear part the same as the 2001, or just the same design?

I'm pretty sure the rotator is the same, except the box above it now houses the chopper-motor.

The 508 is finally up on the Federal Signal website (sans picture for now):

Decatur, AL is getting a system of 508s, according to someone I know from another forum.

Well, according to the FS website it is going to sound pretty much exactly like a rotating Eclipse.

Seems kinda old-school going off the website.
