I started my air horn mod today. This is the equipment I'm using.
Go Air Horns Inc. 4 train horn kit
Air Zenith Compressor
Adjustable pressure switch
5 gallon tank
3/8" & 1/4" SS hose fittings, and DOT approved airbrake hose.
Two 40 amp relays, and a 40 amp circuit breaker
DPDT in cab switch
10 guage power wire
16 gauge wire
It might be a week or two until I finish this mod. Fitting the tank and compressor is going to take some time. I rigged it up so I could see what the horns sound like, and I was very pleased with the results. My ears are still ringing. :lol: It sounds like a real train horn. Nice full sound. It sounds a lot better and louder than I was expecting. These horns are going to be fun
Today I got the horns mounted, and connected the hoses from the horns to the solenoid. I also mounted a quick disconnect in the engine compartment.
