Train Horns: started installing

[attila]

Just the horns at the moment,not much effort

I'm planning to install a 2.5 gal Viair tank under the bed, passenger side, and maybe the compressor in the bed or under with a shield for mud and water.

Are you using MyPushcart for the horns? They were great for me.

I installed a kit from them in my Ranchero: what a blast hahah, put a regulator since it was as loud as no kind of sound could be heard!

This one comes from Siege Engineering, way cheaper and the tank has an embedded compressor. But I will install that tank/compressor in another car.

I am getting ready to put a set on my dually. I am looking at the Nation AirChime K5LA modules, with 5 gallon tank, and dedicated compressor.

They are expensive... but they are "TRUE" train horns still in use today on many different locomotives... 156db...

Those Nathan are the best, but way much expensive! I love them

nicely done... I put my horns on the bottom spoiler behind the grill... like 11 bolts drilled a few holes in the plastic... mounted 3 horns and the compressor bam done..

activating the alarm just hits the compressor so you hear a woosh with no beep... this is not necessarily a bad thing however there's probably a way to get it to work.... keep in mind when i hit the panic button or the alarm goes off you do hear the air horns

We should All do this, I have had mine in for about 6 months now, And ive been Blowing people over the back of bus stop benches since Day 1... Enjoy yourself.

 

[Hamrhead]

Anyone have these train horns on their truck for a while and drive in all weather conditons?


I'm wondering how they'd hold up over time, when mounted under the car and subjected to water/snow/slop. Assuming I could find a place to mount them under my Focus. I want 'em baaaaaad...
