Every now and then someone will show up at the park in Deshler with some form of train horn. You can usually tell because you get used to normal horn behavior in the area and they don't come close.
Actual train horns are popular with truckers, and occasionally, fire departments...
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
$245? If you ahve a spare impact it's like $30 to build. Even if you have to buy an impact, you can do it a lot cheaper if you want. Why you would want to is beyond me.
I guess it's capitalism, but $245 is a sucker price for sure.

Got a 3 bell set from Harbor Freight a couple of years ago for $19.99 I think.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Since most of these horns are air operated how is the air provided? Charging up an air tank does take time.

Small pumps for air horns (ie, for your car) have been around for years. It'll be a rotary vane pump (like an oil pump). This one is simply powered by a battery powered drill instead of a car battery.
Popular Mechanics had an article about outfitting an Austin Mini with a train horn way back in the 1970s. Somehow it never caught on.
It was massively illegal for street use then, and massively illegal for street use now.
On the other hand I routinely blew the '76 Eldorado horn going under bridges because it was the next best thing to a multiple chime horn chord...
