Train Horn Blow Run-by with Nathan Airchime K5L (K5LA) & Prime 920

- Up in Northern Michigan north of Grayling for the annual cousin's weekend (the guys only, need I say more?!) with my static rig. On it are two horns I rebuilt: Nathan Airchime K5L with bell numbers - , 2, 3, 4, 5. The large number 1 bell is not numbered. Some say it's a K5L, some say it's a K5LA. Sounds pretty good either way...you be the judge. The other is a Prime 920 with bells P50195, P50194, P40254; the same sounding bells as a Leslie Supertyfon S-3L: bells 25, 31 & 44. Tank is 80 gallons w/ 125 psi, horns are controlled by 2 separate Graham White 2 stage valves and air lines are 3/4 inch & regulated at 75 psi. Lanyards control the valves right off the tank.
First horn blow is about 3/4 mile away. Great echo and doppler effect! Note the typical Prime/Leslie "squeal" later in the video. Doesn't do that if the valve is opened quickly.
10yrs later and this video, not only is it a nice demonstration of the K5LA but is still hilarious 😆
Thanks for the comment! I can't believe it's been over 10 years since I shot this video (my cousin, actually...I was driving). I'm getting ready to install a Canadian tuned K5HLA on the rig soon. Time to do
another run by!
@@d.r.cultivator2412 Please keep the videos coming!
The conversation it this video was hilarious!
*in*
Hahahahaha
😂😂😂😂fr
“That Doppler Effect was still detectable!” 😂 Love the geeking out moments in this video 😂
When I hear a Train horn from about a mile away like in this video, I can only think of how I have only a couple of minutes left to live before the beast arrives... pretty awesome
It's almost spooky waiting for the drive by. Classic.
Imagine if you were tied to the rails and you heard THAT in the distance...
If I were in that situation, I would rather hear the K5LA!
Imagine the same but, in England when locomotive engineers hardly ever blow the horn. Plus electric train approach even at high speed very quietly.
Less scary since you wouldnt worry as much about death, high speed trains will kill you quickly, freight trains run way slower and will dog into you slowly, causing more pain.
I love it! Nerdy good time fun. My kind of weekend. I'm envious.
lol "Doppler! Doppler! Thats Science in Action!!"
if I had one of these I would make the fog lights flash like ditch lights
1:48 - “Right there, that’s science in action!” I absolutely lost it after I heard that. 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely loved this - literally laughed out loud! You're a bunch of Numb Skulls! Wish I lived closer, we could all hang out!
Prime 920 sounded like a GP38-2 coming over the hill!
DOPPLER! DOPPLER! OH, BABY! RIGHT THERE, THAT'S SCIENCE IN ACTION! And now for our next lesson, we're gonna learn about combustion.
HEY! IT WAS STILL DETECTABLE! IT WAS STILL DETECTABLE!
As a train guy...that would scare the living crap outta me...but how awesome!!! Gonna have nightmares!!!
"disposable income" lol
I laughed way too hard at “You can tell when he has waaay too much disposable income” lol
i work for up and i LOVE the sound of the k5l
That K5 is just fucking beautiful!!
It's that tone that I like the most!
That guy is a beast!
i am proud to be an american because of this
Perfect wake up alarm⏰️
Why? BECAUSE WE CAN!!!!!
1:43...FOAMER ALERT!!! LOL
Island Line Rail Productions HAHA
That is such a cool sound I wish I can do this once in my life aswell
I just watched a video explaining how the airchime works. So I searched 'Nathan K5L', it being the example I recognized most from travel. I had no idea so many people were rigging them to their cars and trucks. The sound is incredible here.
awesome...love the conversations in the background lol.
I Wish I Was There
Bring your friends,have some beers and fun with trainhorns..hmmm,amazing
That train horn does not get old!!!
-RUN, Jimmy, RUN!!!- lol... the same horn that was on the -sometimes they come back- movie... and, maybe the 1 on -stand by me- ...
I WANT ONE. I hear the local 6 axle csx train that passes my house. Its spooky by the tracks at night when they blast the horn.
I live near tracks to
If you wanna hear a K5LA on a train, I would recommend Amtrak (passenger service throughout most of the country) and CSX (a Class 1 railroad east of the Mississippi River), since they have a lot of K5LA's. (Beware, CSX's K5LA's are VERY loud.)
The Downeaster runs right behind my neighborhood. I hear these all the time.
And I ride the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner several times a year. I love the sound of that K5LA. At night I can hear it even though that track passes about five miles from home.
This sounds like a train passing by my town
You can tell these guys are good friends hahah 😂 they had me dying
Im a UP conductor for the Los Angeles service unit and I cant believe how close this sounds to the real thing. I need this setup for my 98 12 valve
I need more disposable income!! FFS, I drive 696 expressway daily. This would be really good, or really bad!
Great video
High volume tank right there
Great video! with this car through Hawaii, Oahu Island, that would be awesome. LOL
It’s the location more than anything.
Hmm,Just the guy's and some beer with their toys? nope,no need to say more.Have fun!
0:03 “That sounds like a Freaking Train.” *No Shit*
I've always wondered about this particular horn. It's nearly identical to a standard K5LAR24, but there's something different about it. Amtrak frequently uses these on their Empire Service trains, and I've heard it on a few CSX GP40s and 38s. There's gotta be some special name for it or something!
This is such a manly activity 🤣🤠
The trucks tryna be a c40-8m!
👍 So cool !!! Love it.
Thanks much
The K5LA sounds like a 1, 2, 3a, 4a (soundling like a 3.) and 5.
this is cool and I like train horns
❤ I love my K5LA!
My ranting about never doing this to one of my trucks only lasted about 0:18 into this video...
There’s a P42DC coming down the road.
Are you going to do more vids
truck + train = trurain
I was at Hutch waiting for the 3'20 amtrak, they are super loud close up cover your ear's.
Now arriving from Chicago on track 4, train number 7, the Indiana Jones Limited
You move to a remote part of America, deep in the woods for a little peace and quiet, and then..............
Do certain engine classes have the same kind of horn, or are they spread around?
How much does a K5LA cost and where can i get one?
Plebasaurus Rekt they cost around $1500, but the complete set is $2200, you van get it at hornblaster.com. worth the buy 😂😂😍
Any on ebay that is in working condition with all the bells working should start costing at 800-900$
Nice
The lines ARE 1/2". Anyone serious in the hobby knows that is what you use. The feeds to the valves are 3/4". If I ever think of it and get a chance, I'll put some closeup pictures on my flickr site and put a link here.
BTW I've taken the Prime off for now and mounted an RS-5T in its place. Haven't done a road run yet, but stay tuned...
What are you running for pressure my 920 sounds completely different then yours I have all 5/8 line and 3/4 valves
Will a cop ticket you if you have those and use them in a valid emergency situation?
If the number 1 horn is not numbered then you have an early 2000's k5la most likely.
Ladies and Gentlemen.... America.
Hey oldanur, it's almost 10 years later since you posted that video. What's the status on those horns? Have they been installed on another pickup or are they being stored?
Still got 'em but they are in the barn for now. Can't believe it's been 10 years! Guess I should get 'em back out...and I will!
@@d.r.cultivator2412 I'll be anxious and excited to see and hear them again. Maybe the motivator for you is to host another one of those cousin reunions?? LOL
@@d.r.cultivator2412, well sir. What's the latest? Any planned cousin reunion in order yet to get those horns out of mothballs?
Prime 920 its sounding how nathan P3!!! 🤔🤔🤔
love it love it!!!!!
lucky he doesn't have full pressure? I can guarantee you that the man has full pressure.
Bad assss
The crazy thing is I KNOW where this is.
Is that a Ex Amtrak K5LA train horn?
Probably from an AEM-7
It is an Ex CSX K5LA, and the Prime 920 came off of a BN unit
You should get a Graham White Valve if you're using a 3/4" ball valve.
you need 1/2'' airline, you'd be surprised the difference it makes. All locomotives use 1/2'' lines on the horns.
Love that prime! Thanks guys. Where are you all from? I'd like to gather up some horn collectors and do the same thing here in the San Francisco area.
I have a NFS COnrail RS3L
@CSXtrackworker 130-135 is standard pressure not 125, at least on the locomotives I've been around.
I think we’re all lucky he didn’t have full pressure
I want one.
When ES44AC hits the road
Es44ac got a k5hl
Hooooonk Hooooooonk!!! Mother fffff
Hey!
Maybe Santa will buy me one.
This Sound like West Newton
😂😂 ,love it 🤣🤣
How do you do this? It's cool
Dc truck convoy 2022
DOPPLER! DOPPLER! OH, BABY! THAT'S SCIENCE IN ACTION!
HEY! IT WAS STILL DETECTABLE! IT WAS STILL DETECTABLE! IT WAS A FREQUENCY SHIFT!
