Popular Post ranchhopper Posted December 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2015 It came today like an early Christmas present I sold the last one I had just before restoring my truck and last summer everyone kept asking where is it meaning the locomotive horn I have had in parades for years. I bought this from a friend in south carolina and its as next to new as they get I am planning to polish the bells like aluminum wheels as they are cast aluminum. Saturday I will take it out and see how it sounds we have a woods next door and it echos real nice so you can really hear what it sounds like from the front instead of being behind it by the way that's a 65 pound dog next to it in the pictures so it gives it some perspective as to how big they are. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43042-new-addition-to-the-rs-parade-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchhopper Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 I have a 30 gallon tank from an old craftsman compressor I plumb it into the air system so it has a good reserve these Nathan airchimes take way less air than the older leslie horns so a 30 gallon reserve is plenty and 120 pounds of air pressure gives it full volume I believe its spec'd out to be heard for three miles.

ranchhopper Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Those horns sound like commuter trains this horn is from a freight locomotive I have a u-tube recording of what this sounds like but im not computer literate enough to post it if I could figure it out I would put it up.
