I wanna but a train horn for my f350, there’s a bunch out there so I’m not sure what to get. Anyone have one or had one that can give me some input. This seems like it could entertain me for a few months driving around lol

You need a compressor and air tank as well. Then there’s running power and plumbing air lines. It’s not as simple as just bolting on a train horn.

If it is not a Nathan, Leslie, Prime or Holden, then it isn’t a real train horn…

I have a friend with a one of these. It’s huge!

Right now he is in the process of restoring it, so he doesn’t have it hooked up. I know he has a couple other train horns as well, so I will ask him what he runs them with.

Do we really need more loud train horns in this world?

Don’t need to be lower middle class or live very near a major rail system. A quiet night and winds out of the south and everyone from Walden Ave to Main St. can hear the train horns.

I live a lot closer to them than Walden or Main. I’m so close I could pick the engineer’s out of a lineup.
