Isn't that a mite loud in the cab? And get the wheel set that lets you go on the tracks!
Also a big center light up high ;)

Y'know, one of the ones that'll put the fear of god in someone a mile away at high noon.

The personal responsibility train left the station years ago, and you gave it the finger as you watched it leave.

Haha, you keep offering, but I never see any radio! I'd love an interior mounted radio system... it sure would beat my hand-held clipped to the sun-visor! Plus, with the backrack, I have an awesome place to mount antennas!

I haven't sounded this horn in this mount yet. I don't have an aircompressor/tank.... looking but they're damn expensive. Especially the specifications I'm looking for.

Yeah, I'd like to get a hi-rail setup too, but I'm not sure how much modification would have to be done for my truck. Too much, and too expensive, and I don't have any railroad track to run it on anyway (legally, at least! haha). But a light is do-able!

Very cool, what system is that from?




This ship horns are epic!

I don't know the lineage of my horn. I have a few theories of where it came from, but that's only based on paint colour and type of horn.

It's a Nathan Airchime K3HA, a commonly used horn in the USA.

Not even remotely. Bonus points for creativity... this is definitely a first that I've seen.

Hahaha. Well, I can't take credit for the idea! There's a fair sized community of people who mount railway horns on their vehicles.

I did design the bracket that fits onto my backrack though. Had it laser cut and bent at work:



Here's a video of my horn on my friend's car:

Hahaha...

You'd love my friend's '02 Cavalier sedan- 2" suspension lift, quad 7" Hella rally lights across the front bumper, 5 spoke OZ rally wheels, gutted interior and massive mudflaps. He kicks ass in rallycross in that thing.

I'll find you a nice VHF mobile radio and matching NMO mount antenna for your truck TRAINS. But you will pay for it ha.

I used to know a guy around my area who had a train horn on his Chevy Astro. Man, that thing was loud.

yeah, like a Jetta was the end all be all of automotive technology? How many transmission troubles did that car have? At least the Cavalier 5speed didn't break all the time.

30 dollars for the VHF MaxTrac roughly; probably another 30 dollars for the NMO mag mount and antenna. I'll program it up for you.
