what you need is a chrysler air raid horn, I think it might fit in the bed of your truck with the hemi v-8 that runs it.

for train horns the trick is to use the largest ID hose possible. the larger train horns use either 5/8 or 1/2 inch ID hose. also you need a large volume tank, PSI is important but you need about a 2500 cubic in tank, Volume is just as important. On my last truck I had real train horns that were fed by two tanks that were 4 feet long and 8 inches wide. Also if you use a valve to turn them on instead of an electric solinoid you can vary the sound just like a train

Nathan K5LA . Period.
Go K3 of you dont have the space or budget for the K5. Dont waste your time on the hadleys or any of the other over the road truck stlye horns. If you want loud, and the real deal. Go with a true Cast Locomotive horn. |
Nathan and Leslie are the real deal
