Hi All,

I'm looking for an original 3 or 5 chime train air horn. I will be honest, I'm looking for a deal. Let me know if you have one and your interested in selling it.

Thanks, Steve

Kevin I have several sets of these and occasionally make the neighborhood loud. They are cool and definitely distinctly different sounds to each.

Kevin I am thinking that would shut your loud obnoxious partying neighbors up at 200AM!! Until they get a louder one to retaliate -if it exists!

It's not a train horn, but I do have this brass ships whistle/horn.

The video shows it being fed with a 1/4" air line at 65psi and only 3cfm. The horn has a 1" inlet and is rated at 20-150psi. The throat is over 3". Distance projection is over 1 mile. Cast versions were used in gangs on tower horn sets of 5-7. Brass versions like this were made for ships running screw compressors or steam pressure.

Federal Signal quit making these brass ones years ago.

I'll take $460 shipped.

My favorite is a GROVER "EMERGENCY" air horn. Part # 1510 called a Stuttertone. Google it on You Tube. Pretty easy to find these. j
