Good for you! What's the point of having industrial strength noisemakers if you don't use 'em?
Yea. We did a 1 minute blow out with my P5 DMIR. It probably disturbed every New Years party but it was fun!
I take it you sound the horns New Years Day at Zero Hour?
Yes I do. Not very often though. My friend do 3-4 horn honks each year. Lotsa fun!
Sounds like an expensive hobby. Do you ever actually sound these horns??
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
