Hmmm real train horns huh?

The P3 was first produced in 1952 as a derivative of the P5 (P bells 1, 2, and 4 from the P5). As with the P5, the castings changed over time to produce slight variations in sound. The P3 was the common horn for the Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific and Illinois Central. They were also used on the Spokane Portland & Seattle, and to a lesser extent, on many eastern railroads.


Some train horns are longer some are shorter...

Here they are on a train.


Here they are resting in my tailgate.



But the fact I choose some that fit in my truck without having to use the pickup bed to hold them does not make them any less REAL!


To run these horns they require 110psi min with 1/2 tube and a min of a 20 gallon air tank.


Heres some links.
