No matter what you do, you'll never be able to get it to sound as nice as these....something about the train air makes them sound more.....musical....maybe the air dryers on board.....

Also, notice the LAST car on this train, the California Zephyr....this one is East bound, towards Chicago....it is a private car...for those of you looking to do somethign different this year, get together and lease this car for the week, go to Chicago...there are LOTS of companies that lease out cars...you won't regret it...trust me....:D

The real nathan horns do sound completely different than the much cheaper knock offs. Plus in a train you are not limited to much smaller air reserve (much smaller tanks) and also on locomotives they are running 1 inch supply lines and valves. If one were to rig up the horns in the same manner as a llocomotive it would defintiely be a different Ball game :D

True, I have unlimited ability to blow the thing, and I do. I use the horn almost continuously through certain parts of town. Plus, I have an air compresser the size of a small truck...:D huge, shaft driven thing...

My horns sound just like that train.
Triple train horns, compressor, tank, the whole sha-bang a bang...
When I hit em' standing outside of the truck, you can even feel the ground reverberate...
Don't believe me, try me on the road...

here are a real set of horns. If you see this truck on the road and you cut him off you will get a chance to hear them, also if you are young, female, cute, and walking down the side of the road you will hear them. This is a picture of 1 set on my truck (I have 2 on the truck and 1 on the trailer) YES they are LOUD!!!!! BTW to show how big they are that is my 5 year old son standing next to them:eek: http://www.***boat.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=28466&stc=1&d=1176327782
