I agree with c00n, and I know that this isn't the classified section, but to let everyone know I have one for sell that I bought from siege engineering. They are truely a great company to work with. Mine just didn't work out for my application, but it is 120 psi and seriously not for the faint of heart. If anybody is interested in a Kong 2 system with a 5L tank that has everything to install let me know. I will give you guys the opportunity first then it will go on ebay this weekend.

You can occasionally pick up real train horns. They don't sell cheap, and aren't nice and chrome, but you can't beat the original!

I agree. I have the real Nathan K5LA ones and boy are they loud. They are cast aluminum so technically they could be polished but that is alot of work and maintenance.

$400.00 cash.

I had a buddy that works for CSX and he had them laying around at the house. We became such good friends that he decided... then again I talked him into selling them to me. Alcohol and a campfire were involved but he was still glad to do it in the morning. I jumped on it immediately, ran to the ATM before he even got out of his camper the next morning. I woke him up with money in hand and a biscuit from town.

I will get pics and try for another set but I don't think there is enough alcohol for two sets. Maybe I will try some of my 'shine this time. Hmmm???

Here is a site that has many different selections, including the KL5's..although they pricey on those, I am looking at this set here instead:
