Massive Whistles, Gongs and Ship Horns at Night Horn Honk
Просмотров 1 тыс.14 дней назад
Had the opportunity to bring some of my more air hungry whistles/horns out too a remote location and let them rip in the middle of the night! We are on top of a hill in a large gorge and the echos are great. Unfortunately it’s really hard to capture the true power of these horns/whistles on a camera and the echos in person are very intense. We have a total of 1160 Gallons with 2 industrial comp...

Here’s a pretty rare bird! This is a very early Canadian Sand cast Airchime K3H. This horn dates to the early 60s which is very early for this style horn. Currently the number 1 bell has a slight warble still but is much better compared to when I first got it.

Paducah & Louisville K5LA Nathan Airchime Train Horn

This is a pretty curious K5LA. It took me a while to figure out its heritage. At first I as well as some others thought it was either GO transit or Reeding & Northern but after some more digging Iv concluded it to be Paducah & Louisville. This does make sense as it originated from the Northern part of Louisville KY. This K5LA is what I call a transition era Horn. it has 80s raised a bubble bel...
Union Pacific K5LLA Train Horn Nathan Airchime
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.2 месяца назад
Here’s another very cool UP K5LLA. This is a different K5LLA than my other one that’s already on the channel. I ran that one with the 1L reversed. This one is running all bells forward. Like the other horn this one has the same wear patterns on the bells from the bonnets deteriorating and rubbing overtime. A very unique look I might add. #k5lla #unionpacific #unionpacificrailroad

    Great sounding K5HL 1G. Most locos here run these with just the #2 forward (along with the other K5HL generations) and the 1G actually sounds pretty good that way. The raised-letter doesn't sound great coming at you with that configuration for some reason, but sounds heavenly from a distance when moving away and is my favorite Nathan horn.

    Hey Dillon, do you sandblast your horns before repainting? If so, I'm wondering what your sandblasting setup is since I'm looking to get started with that at home. I've got some older clunky horns and general metal items that need a good clean yet I'm not trying to scrub or buff the oxidation and grime. Also, a general shop tour would be cool if you haven't made one already. I'm sure lots of folks would like to see the behind-the-scenes of where the magic happens. Cheers.

Kinda wish you kept the video a little bit longer during the steam siren part that siren was making some echoe's you'd hear in a horror movie.

I can only imagine what that sounded like a mile away. We did have 4 sheriffs show up due too multiple calls. We were out there till 3am honking lol. They were cool though and ended up hanging with us for an hour or so thinking various whistles/horns. They didn’t care. Said they had calls as far out as 7miles away.
