Re: OT, air horns
> Where can I get some?
Ebay, for about $100 per tube. I got mine for a lot less, they needed
welding. I recommend that you have the receipt handy, a railroad man I know
tells me that the railroad loses a lot of horns to thieves, and will assume
that yours are stolen and call the law if they see them.
I passed up on some perfectly good chances to make people fall off of
ladders, etc today. It's a lot like walking around with a shotgun, you
shouldn't fire it without a good reason. The joke isn't funny if it can
cause injury, damage, or harasses livestock.
This morning I was on a road that crosses tracks just before a traffic
light. 2 cars were stopped clear, and the moron in the third car stopped ON
the tracks in an area where the trains go by at 70 MPH. They will probably
remember me for a while.
I gave a few long blasts a bit later in the day, over mile outside of
Coulterville, a historical gold mining town that once had rails, while
coming down a long hill. The guys doing a cowboy gunfight in the street gave
me a round of applause as I went by. Too fun.

Re: OT, air horns
Is not that hard, either an electric or vacuum compressor capable of a
litre or so of air at 100+ psi. A traditional diesel truck is usually
two horns, american style diesel 3 of them. If you have an MGB, the
electric compressor is recommended as the old Hadley vacuum compressor
will lean out your engine enough to almost kill it on every stroke at
idle. Lotsa fun...particularly if some yoyo is obviously not looking
and starts to pull out in front of your very small sports car and all
of a sudden tries to figure out where the semi came from.
Although I've never used this particular brandset, several samples here,
including the cannonball which sounds much like the old northern diesel.

Re: OT, air horns
Thanks Paul.
My Jeep rides on the trailer for the most part, no city driving except for
around the neighborhood. I would hate to make a neighbor mad.
I am going to try something a bit milder than what you have or the more
expensive sets to start. I made a purchase on eBay, I am sticking with older
and deeper sounding models, that all I am going to say. I will consider this
to be a test for me, to see if I want to go further.

My Jeep rides on the trailer for the most part, no city driving except for
around the neighborhood. I would hate to make a neighbor mad.
I am going to try something a bit milder than what you have or the more
expensive sets to start. I made a purchase on eBay, I am sticking with older
and deeper sounding models, that all I am going to say. I will consider this
to be a test for me, to see if I want to go further.
