Default Train Horns

I did a little searching and didn't come up with much at all. I am looking at buying a compressor and tank from harbor freight or similar to have onboard air. I would also like to add train horns, besides the tank, compressor, all the tank fittings, and power, what else would I need to make the horns work? I'm assuming a valve of some sort?

Awesome! What kind of valve do you have? What PSI does your setup get to?

Whatever you do, deff get something with a 5 gallon tank. The 2.5 gallon tanks can't hold a blast as long

I rigged this up, 120 psi 7 gallon tank i think. Made it removable to put it in when i want to use it and keep it in the shed when i need my bed space.

Thanks for the ideas. Horn lasers is too expensive and I will also use one of the tank outlets to have a quick disconnect hose to allow me to put sir in tires and run pneumatic equipment if necessary.

All my equipment is aftermarket away from hornblasters besides the horns themselves... I have the viair 150 psi with some 5 gallon air tank with 4 outlets
