Hey Folks
I have an interest in train horns and own about 5 of them. They include:
P5 (Old Cast Missabe)
UP Version of an K5LLA
Amtrak K5LA
CSX K5HLL
K3LA commonly on SD70MAC's and SD70M's
I am trying to increase my collection. I bought all 5 within the last 2 months as my friend introduced me into "hornfanning". I am constantly looking for nicely sounding horns. Here I found a really nice horn. I am thinking it's a Leslie of some sort. I could very well be. BTW, if your looking for a video of the locomotive, I found (I don't take credit for any video footage). I have 2 horn sounds off this engine. Back earlier 3-5 years ago it sound epic. Now it sounds pretty bad.
Old sound (good sound): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vi2hbcXFNM
Another good sound video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooPn8_DpQQs
New sound (horrible sound): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSgLkKvFw8E
I like the old sound a ton better and I would love to have that kinda horn in my collection
Sounds like an expensive hobby. Do you ever actually sound these horns??
Yes I do. Not very often though. My friend do 3-4 horn honks each year. Lotsa fun!
I take it you sound the horns New Years Day at Zero Hour?
Yea. We did a 1 minute blow out with my P5 DMIR. It probably disturbed every New Years party but it was fun!
Good for you! What's the point of having industrial strength noisemakers if you don't use 'em?
