Got My Train Horns!!
My wife and son got me a set of train horns for Fathers Day!!!!

car/truck horns are not even listened too any more on the freeway around here in SoCAl .... BUT ... a train horn gets attention and moves people.

The police around town here will actually ticket you for blowing your train horns so I have to be carefull when blowing them. Some drivers need more than train horns to get them moving but you are right it sure does get their attention!

When I first started running engines the whisltles(horns to you) had a valve that came thru the roof with a piece of rope tied to it and secured to the top of the console. When you pulled the rope it simply pulled down on the valve and the whistle sounded. Of course you got stinking compressor oil laden water sprayed on you at the same time. It would make a mess out of your glasses.
Of course now you just push a button and the whisltle sounds. I sure hope you have something more cleaver in mind than a rope!!!Ha Ha.

From: at the truck pulls
Drivers in Atlanta are the same way. My last truck I got some that didn't require an air tank, just a small air pump, and they weren't loud enough to do any good.
Do you have to get some with an all time compressor keeping a tank pressurized in order to be "loud"?
Then I wonder where in the world will they go except on the hood or under the frame. Anybody do this on the 6.7 truck?

Fordtuf, I tried the horn you're talking about, got it at northern tool I think, maybe harbor freight? You are right, Atlanta traffic will just laugh at you with that one.
Here's what you need, it's a 150psi system.

Naturally, air bags if you want are just an easy bolt on if you already have the air source, so why not get them.
