BigPimpin91 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I looked around multiple sites for my Compressor, tank, pressure gauge, horns and bought them all individually and ended up saving some money instead of buying a kit. Took alittle time but Was worth it in my opinion. Good luck on the install. They are Very fun! Do you happen to have links for your equipment? Cheapest kit I say was $350. How much did yours total?

trainman0978 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 the k5la is the horn used on top of amtrak trains. how do i know b/c my brother works there thats the official train horn and its expensive. the k3la is what is used on frieght trains not as expensive, has a different tone but just about as loud thats an official train horn. if you dont have 1 of those 2 then its not a real train hornand these horns will blow the diaphrams if you constantly give them 250 psi 150-200psi is perfect I don't know what brand they are on top of our engines. don't make no difference to me. I will say that the Amtrack horns are nowhere near as loud as some of the horns on certain freight train engines. You would think the opposite is true, considering the speed amtrack runs compared to freight trains. I am around these things everyday, and I meet anywhere from 2- 5 amtrack trains a night when I am at work. The horns they use sound dim and weak , and I would even go so far as to say they are purposely quieter so not to upset passengers riding the trains. The FRA has some requirements as to how loud a horn has to be as far as minimum and maximum decibel levels and horn tones. Hell the EPA gets involved in the testing due to "noise pollution" , which , when you think about is kinda retarded. Trains kill people daily. The horns and flashing lights are all the warning we have. And they are worried about noise pollution. some cities have " quiet zones " where the trains are not even allowed to blow the horn over road crossings. And we also have to follow the 15 to 20 second rule now. Which is a FRA mandate that prettty much says, unless you are about to hit someone , you cannot blow the crossing for less than 15 seconds, but not more than 20 seconds, including the final sounding as the locomotive over takes the road crossing and blocks it ... Basically what it boils down to , Most major cities are running out of land. The last good real estate left is along train tracks. We are seeing more and more VERY expensive homes popping up around the tracks. The rich start bitching and the laws change. Quote 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Voo Doo Blue my upgrades and "build" thread.
