if you want to go with a train horn, you're gonna need something to push a lotttttt of air to it. and they are indeed loud (i hear one everyday, as i work on a train) i'm sure it would be loud on a truck, but i don't think you're gonna find any way to make it as loud as it is on an actual train.

www.trainhorns.net you can hear all the train sounds you want. I went cheap and bought the electric one, still loud though.

trust me you dont want plastic horns, they sound like a cheap sports horn, you can buy from horn blasters but get metal horns, the best way to get examples is youtube, most of the sound clips from websites are the same generic clip, mine look very similar to this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRUCK...Q5fAccessories

i bought them from a different seller though, mine dont sound as deep but are still super loud and obnoxious, also dont mount them on the roof either, one, i think they look stupid, two, its all about the element of surprise, and three, the chrome pitted and flaked, good thing they are behind the front bumper
