Train Horn Comparison Nathan AirChime P3 vs K3LA vs K5LA - Real Cast Train Horns! Hornblasters 

I like the P3. I was and Conductor/ engineer on a tourist line for 20 plus years and we had to take our horns off daily due to theft. Good thing we never caught the thieves. They'd Fart through it the rest of their life. We lost at least 6 horns and a bell plus tons of other equipment. (A rebuilt hydraulic cylinder for a boom truck. and air brake valves worth thousands as valves, crap as scrap due to the asshole not knowing what they're made of- Brass) We are a volunteer group and didn't have money for that SHIT.

The Nathan Airchime K5LA is my most favorite horn!

That K5LA is hurting 😅

I have always loved the sound of the P3

I'd love to get one of those, but my dream is a Nathan K5H. Those were/are used on BC Rail, and the sound they make is something to behold! I'd recommend getting one if you can get your hands on one.

That K3LA sounds good!

Awesome video guys. Very informative, Thanks for sharing.

The key to LOUD train horns is volume, volume, volume. As in air volume. Make sure all your plumbing is a min. of 5/8" or larger.

Awesome!

I think the K5LA need bigger hose or bigger air switch, because the sound is kind a restricted. Or maybe one of the chime got foulded with debris, mud, or sand and need to be cleaned out before anything bad happen

K5LA is the nicest one in the video , the Nathan K6LA is way better in my opinion.

3:00 music with horns

That K3LA sounds like a K3L

Cool

I think the NATHAN AIRCHIME P3 win

My favorite was the Nathan K3LA. I believe these were used on all of the LIRR diesel locomotives from 1950 thru 1968, except for the Alco RS1, which used a single chime flat note horn, if I'm correct, all back in the day of my youth.

I like the second horn better.

Mantap bang

ok, now i have to get in on sum a dat .. maybe a NATHAN K5 LA 💨🎶🎵🎺📯

Where is the compressor mounted on the white suv?

They would be a lot louder on top of the vehicle like a real train. All my Nathans get mounted on the top of my truck.

Cool video. I don't know much about horns, so forgive me if this is a dumb question... but how do you keep debris/water out of the horn with it mounted under the vehicle?

Tacoma guy said he has smc valve is that just a 12v solenoid valve or does he one of those pilot operated valves.

I have have real train horns on my semi truck but I don't know if there k3 or p3

K3LA I recognize that horn from somewhere in pro-sports.

I prefer the k5la

Los Angeles goal!

The k5la sounds funny lol

which one was the loudest in person?

K5!

👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

How long of a honk time do you get before the air runs our?

K5LA all day

I love air corns

2:51

The plate just couldn't hold it more

How can I buy a k5 La ? A real one please

Kids!

2:44 is that a screaming woman

That K5LA is off NJT aint it

why is it age restricted?

2:44. Skip the talking

They all need 1/2" inner diameter hose..Great horns but they're starving them of the air volume that they require to properly sound off.

Not near enough air gittin to em....sorry Bros

Well those horns will be destroyed in no time being mounted under the vehicles..

I have Hornblasters S6 two gallon 3/4 hose I think 244 compressor. I think sounds better than these

Embarrassing.
