Default Train Horn

what do you guys think about this...i've been wanting one, but haven't found the right one for the right price...this one seems reasonable at a reasonable price

about three months ago i bought the same setup from the same seller and i installed it and took it off the same day. its real cheap chinese junk.the tank is extremely small and i could barely sound them before the air was gone.they are still laying in my garage and would make a good bicycle horn.

I have a Train Horn also, But the company that I got it from is out of business. But they are a pain in the ***. They are not real durable. Ive replaced the compressor twice in 2 years. And they frezze up in the winter months. But they are great in Detroit traffic... They do let people know your opinion of their driving.... When installing one the company I bought mine from said to point the horns down to allow all around to enjoy, here is a pic of where mine are...

<insert obligatory "they are illegal for road/traffic use">

That said, IMO, while they can be funny they don't seem to be worth the effort.

I'm in Texas too.....the horn won't help much; short of using a big baseball bat and beating the driver, you're out of luck in Texas.

I've been looking for a train horn as well... regardless if they are illegal or not, I need them for all of the illegal, idiot drivers out here. Horn blasters seems to be the best in quailty that I've seen...
