Is that really a thing?

I wear my sunglasses at night.

I know this is a really old thread, but did the OP ever finish the project? My sons and nephews really likes trains, so I was considering this for mine.

However, I would like to see where they mounted the tank and horns, plus how obnoxiously loud it sounds. (Videos??)

Train horns at 150 psi like the horn blasters kits will be audible for ~ 2 miles. The Raptor stock horn is audible for about 2 football fields. it’s a pretty significant project. I haven’t done it, but do need to put some more oomph behind the horn. The db Hornblasters reports are high 140’s, which is equivalent to a shot fired from a battle rifle or assault rifle, unsuppressed. That’s enough to permanently damage hearing, FWIW.

Call Chris at Freedom Motorsport, you wont regret the decision. ...last year at the away soccer game with my boys we were parked next to the field. The other team scored first and one of the parents blew a car horn, just a regular horn, pretty lame...lol. Minutes right after that our team scored a goal. I used the train horn to celebrate, scared the shit out of the other parents, the looks were priceless... we won 3-1 and blew the horn every time....

When I saw this thread, the Raptor stigma thread came to mind.

When I saw this thread, the idiot suv driver that cut Lucille off at a good 40mph clip came to mind.

Do they make one that has the same train sound and tone, but not quite as loud? I do not need one that can be heard 2 miles...
