Exclamation Train Horn!!!! Check It Out

if you want to scare the living daylights out of some fellow driver check out these horns, I just bought the one on here that has 2 facing forward and 1 facing backwards. Just like conrail used to have on there trains. ITs so loud that when i blow it when theres change on my dash it all vibrates off!!!!!! I got a kit for 325$ (i recommend it)


EDIT:
sorry i forgot to add the link so here it is http://www.tirechanger.com/grover/grover.html

EDIT AGAIN:
so if any of you guys saw the thread about being a union pacific engineer, and are to old or already have a carreer this will at least make you sound like your a train driver

did the horn come with the compressor and parts to install the horns, I was looking at the kit and it looked like it was just the horns, nothing else. I kinda like the chrome ones, but they are both nice.
Thanks for any info,
Bill

HA HA HAAAA! OMG! Wait till you're coming up to a train crossing, and a couple of cars are going over ahead of you, THEN blow that thing!!!!
They'll hit the gas and fishtail right off the road!!!

sixho is rite, thats what we do, and when there is a train goin by we blow at them and we get the thumbs up!!!
And to answer hillbilly, they dont come with the compressor so i got one out of a low ride mag, but the sight does supply them i think!

The like the previous removed post, this one has Automotive Related products & therefore,belongs in either the GAD forum or the aftermarket forum.

No, but it sure doesn't belong in the NON-Autmotive related GC forum.

One of the truck drivers that delivered our trees for our 2003 Christmas sale had one on his rig. He said he had to add another air compressor to really give the thing some sound. I think it may have had 4 or 5 horns - definitely had more than three. As he pulled out of the parking lot, he gave them a nice blast. You could have sworn there was going to be a freight train about to pass. Of course we all got a kick out of it!!

Extra loud horns, or specifically train horns may be illegal in some states. Check with your local friendly P.D.

Sorry, but those are not real train horns. Real "cast" horns used on most loco's are over 30" in length unless they use 5 or more horns. Most of the sets are over 50lbs. They wont hardly make any sound without 150- 200psi pumping to them.


You guys want real train horns...here you go http://trainweb.org/mdamtrak199/horns/phorn.html
