Train horns

Ive been looking into some train horns lately, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these. I was looking on ebay and some of those just dont seem like the real thing. I think they are mainly semi horns?

Anyways are there anything cheaper than the nathan horns, because i want a real train sound....not a peterbilt ha

I knew this one guy not far from here got a ticket for his, didn't pay the $91 before court, went to court, it cost him more like $200 plus the judge gave him a court order to remove them. Deputies and troopers stopped him some after that looking for them, there was a bet on who'ld catch them back on there.

Buddy says they still look it over real good when they see him, done caught him with a radar detector once and those straight pipes that once and then this one day his inspection was expired and he had left hi wallet and license at home. All that 'cause they was looking close, gave him a second look as it were, for them train horns.

Just like the Judge said ... train horns sound like train horns so people know a train is coming.

I don't live in Arkansas.

zzzz......oh yeah good story.
i've been pulled over and the dps officer clearly saw my k3l's and he said you know those are illegal right? i said, yes, i use them for offroad use, the end.
if you get caught with them, say offroad use and you're set, but if you're caught honking them, then you deserve the punishment, gotta have eyes on the back of your head nowadays.

What's the best you can get WITHOUT going the air tank and compressor route?

Take a look at Wolo's website. Your probably gonna find one that suit your needs. Maybe an electric horn or a horn with direct-drive compressor.
