Hey, congrats on getting Athearn's latest run of their tunnel motors, SD45T-2! The little tab you pointed out is part of the prototype. It's where the handbrake chain dangles from if you were to install a chain to the front truck brake cylinder. The box you referred to behind the fireman's side cab is the "positive traction control" cabinet that provided advanced traction controls to all trucks preventing wheelslip.
Some of the volumes on Athearn( horn,bell,Dyn Brake)are loud out of the box.Each feature has a volume CV,so are easily adjusted.The motor can be turned up.There is an equalizer for more fine tuning.Better 'too loud' than too quiet.
