Locomotive horns THE realthing are very hard to come by they are illegal to install on any vehicle opperated on a public roadway. Thay are large air horns and yes you would need a compresser and a large air tank [these things are plumbed with 3/4 in pipe at150psi.] There are comercial horns on the mkt but they are not near as loud. If you are dead set and have the coins google railroad salvage you might luck out.Bubbabud 2011 XLT SC EEEKoboost

Learn a little patience rather than installing something that turns you into just another jerk like the ones you're upset at.
