Bell sound for 102 tram.

Hi Folks. I have a Regner 'Paul' tram, live steam, and a real steam whistle fitted, all R/C. However something which has been in my mind is that it has no way of making the bell sound. One of the suppliers advertising in Garden Rail, was offering a steam whistle sound card to run from a spare channel, aimed at adding a 'nice sounding' steam whistle to a live steamer. I asked about adding a 'bell' sound instead, which he said is possible, so now I need to find the sound I want. Do any of you know where I can get a recording of (ideally) the real 102 tram bell or something similar, or even just the tram bell without an electric motor sound as well. I have found loads of tram bells on 'tinternet, but they all seem to be from electric trams, and I don't really want the whine of an electric motor pulling away on a steam tram. The real Henschel & Sohn 102 tram is still existent, but is apparently hidden away in storage. So could I ask if any of you have any ideas please. Thanks. David
 
You could try using this sound module from Micron - Micron Radio Control : Sound Modules

Although a tram bell isn't listed, I reckon you could put an MP3 file of the sound on to the micro SD card and trigger it from a RC receiver channel. Failing that, ask Andy at Micron or Phil at RC trains to put a bell sound on it for you
