Question Train Horn Mounting Places

I just read the thread "Just bought my train horns" and I am thinking about getting a kit. Does anyone have any pictures of their mounting places for both the horns and the compressor? Looking to mount the horns anywhere, but i don't want to mount the compressor in the bed. Any Ideas?, pictures will also be helpful.
Thanks

alot of people mount them in place of the spare tire. but that only works if you dont have one. i have mine under the bed just outside of the frame rails, and my tank is in the bed.

Actually , It depends on what type of horns your using. Some horn can be seperated . While others are mounted on a manifold. Which makes it difficult to find a place to mount .I've seen members here mount the seperated hornes behind the grill . One would think it would be easy to find a place but, its hard to find a place that is out of site .Heres a picture of my mount . The horn are Nathan K3ha's .

So i will be able to mount them seperately. Just need to find a good place for them and the compresser. Anyone else that has a train horn?

I don't have the train horn, but one of my buddies has and his compressor is mounted in his toolbox and his horns under the truck. Nice, clean install if you have a toolbox with some extra room
