This IS the best sounding Big Bore K5LA Iv ever heard. Each bell on this Horn has been handpicked for the perfect blend of musical goodness haha. This is a Big Bore K5LA. As stated above, this is a parts build. It has been pieced together to attempt to create a perfect sounding big bore K5LA. The number 5 bell plays very sharp and is very dominant, but not overpowering. Generally the number 5 and number 1 like to compete against each other on these Horns but fortunately that has been avoided with this Horn. The first pass was ran around 60 mph and sounds great. It was around 87° during these runs with 60% humidity. #bigbore #k5la #horns

That horn is one of the few that can make a grown man cry. As a child growing up in the 90s, Amtrak and MBTA F40s sounded so similar to this. Nowadays, good luck finding this sound on a passenger railroad!

I grew up on the Connecticut coast watching AEM-7s equipped with this horn. This sound brings back so many great memories.

That echo is insane! This is definitely a beautiful sounding K5LA!

Beautiful! That just screams 80’s!

As a kid in the 90’s watching CSX in my area, I remember this horn on the SD70’s, and C-80-8’s coal trains. It was an ear ringer for sure lol. Definitely grabbed your attention, if you weren’t ready for it!

When the #5 is loud like that, it will really get your attention when your in a car or something, which is a good thing. Nice horn!!

This horn has godlike sound harmonics

Sounds like what Amtrak put on they’re P40DCs

@ScottHBrown Месяц назад

Sounds a lot like the k5s that CSX had on there SD50s when I hired out. And many other older units they had running around. It's also cool how the sound changes as he approaches and departs the camera.

(4:11) I love the way it sounds when it’s far away

@ArturoRailProductions Месяц назад

Man that sounds good! Sounds quite similar to NH 2011 on the Cape Cod Central. It has an 80’s K5 but it has a tagless manifold and mid to late 80’s narrow font back caps. Not sure if the 5 is a small or big bore though.

@Mcnibbus Месяц назад

My question is where do you find these horns or parts I’ve been looking around for some 80s and corker k5LAs

@sethmarett1444 Месяц назад

Where do I buy stuff like this

@fritzfam5 Месяц назад

What happened to recording near that building? I feel it helped give more detail when the horn would go off.

@TheHornKing Месяц назад

Still at the same spot. That’s where all the echos are coming from

@fritzfam5 Месяц назад

@@TheHornKing oh, I did not know that lol. But it still sounds a little muffled, when the camera was up closer you could hear it better in detail.

@sepa2401 Месяц назад

Looks like this horn might’ve belonged to 510 trackside. I can tell the 3A is ex Amtrak, and the 3A isn’t that dominant.

@TheHornKing Месяц назад

This one was a custom build from the ground up.

sounds like an F40

@tinygaragepowersports0122 Месяц назад

Doesn't get any better than that for a K5LA. Really nice work! Was this a long time in the making since you selected each bell by hand?

@TheHornKing Месяц назад

Thanks man and yea this horn was a fairly lengthy project. Got another buddy of mine that has helped source the parts for this horn over time as well

@tinygaragepowersports0122 Месяц назад

@@TheHornKing The prices for these things have prevented me from getting into the hobby....but I appreciate you sharing info and showing how it's done. It sounds so good!!
