    I should've clarified, I was talking about the truckstop horns, not real train horns.

    Just as J and Les said.
    Own Prime 920 here. Have 1/2" line running it. Air dont last long. And they are heavy compartively. Have a manual Graham/White(as i remember) valve so can be feathered, somewhat.
    Laugh when i see these guys with their truck stop horns, thinking they are it.

    My dad bought me a set of those TS horns, they are loud but nothing compared to real train horns, unless you're laying under them and someone triggers the valve....:biggrin_2552:. That hurt!

    I have mine set up on a regulator so I can feather them. It makes a big difference and people do assume they are real ones, they just don't understand how loud real ones are and the fact that operators vary rarely open them up wide open on a train.

    I had an extra set but sold them about 2yrs ago to a friend. Would have looked good on a blue FLD!
