Train horns are the best!

Guy at the shop, the other day, has a train's air horn mounted up underneath his truck bed.
The thing is unbelievably loud.
It's the kind of loud you can feel in your bones.
Gotta find me one.

Here's a video of what I'm talking about....

Re: Train horns are the best!

I got one on my rig. Never thought about taking video of the people I've scared. I am worried about the ticket for it though, I doubt I would ever have the balls to blast a cop with it.

The ones in those vids are quite a bit smaller. They use five long slender horns that you can mount all seperate.

I have looked into them. The Short Bus will have some on soon

We had a set at work. We mounted them in a box and put a switch on the bottom so they went off when the box was picked up. Most fun I've ever had in my life!
