I what to buy a train horn but need some help. What are some of the kits ya"ll using? I really don't what a high dollar one, just one that's sounds good and like a train. Thanks

 

Take a look ay hornblasters.com. They have high $ kits down to a pretty reasonable set up.

 

I got mine as a gift, but I got all my info for install from hornblasters. They have a good site and much better instructions than came with mine. They do sell my model which is about the least expensive option. BTW, they are all loud - Don't spend too much.

 

You have the caboose the one that is $199 right? How loud and how good does it sound does it sound like a train?

 

Well, here's the catch. I have the compressor and air tank featured there, but the horns are bigger looking. My friend is really into this stuff and got it for me.

My horns look like these. POWERFUL 3 GALLON, 200 PSI Train Air Horn...#103C-5/307 - eBay (item 200564427959 end time Feb-10-11 12:13:29 PST)

They are very loud and sound a lot like a train.

 

I think all of them are very loud, the key is high air pressure, you want at least 150 psi.. Mine is set at 175 psi..

 

I think my PSI tops out at 150 and due to a relatively small tank I am sure it drops quickly. They are still plenty loud. They are illegal so you must use discretion - I try to only use them off road and other special exceptions. Everyone around here has warned me that it is a favorite ticket for the cops to write. I'm sure it depends where you live.
