Can I see some of your train horns mounted on your trucks? I notice a lot of them say the compressor can not be wet or dirty, so where do you put it?

Thanks.

 

i dont hve any pics, but my horn is mounted behind my front bumper and the compressor is in my tool box

 

That's how I see a lot of people doing it, sadly I sold my tool box right after I bought the truck lol

 

where are you guys getting the horns? hornblasters?

 

Im planning on getting these, not a real fan of the super high pitched train horns...

Me neither thats why I asked. I want one that sounds like a locomotive

 

Are these real train horns? I hear them enough at work driving trains.
One time I got on a train and I found out the horn had been stolen over the weekend. I was happy because I got sent home with pay till they could replace the horn

 

Nah theyre plastic or fiberglass or whatever. I work on a railroad too. Railroad horns are way better sounding. Find someone whos scrapping a locomotive and grab the horn...with permission of course.

 

Well I think I will pass. I know on some old sd40s they are not that bad. I will run with the window open but on some of the 2700s they are so loud that I keep the window shut at All times. I couldnot imagine them on a truck

 

Our Railroads got them mounted right above the cabs so theyre pretty loud but it depends. Weve got an Alco RS18 whose horn is so quiet, I could probably put my ear up to it. Love to know what railroad the horn originally came off of. The things painted purple lol.
