Hey I could mount this under my canvas bed cover and start a DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP SERVICE. What would someone pay for a 3 am wakeup call for that @*$#^ neighbor
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I thought of mounting one on my front porch and wiring it to the doorbell, so that when the kids come to "doorbell ditch" they get a nice surprise, and the neighbors will hear and help me find the little darlings....Hey I could mount this under my canvas bed cover and start a DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP SERVICE.

Have you tried them? Will they go on the truck in your avitar? I would love to see some pics...So Lex do you have any of these horns I can trade in my 2 bendix horns I bought from you???
You give me horn envyI have a real train horn valve on my train horns so i can control the volume of them. I use the horns in parades and have no complants. As long as you pull the lever gently the horns are not that loud but if you did pull it all the way I am sure ther would be a problem. I still have my stock horns for normal use.
That link that you posted WARNS that it's not to be used near pedestrians, 100 feet, etc.....
Hence, I certainly HOPE that you DO NOT intend for this to be your PRIMARY Audible Warning Device (horn) on your MV. I would NOT hook it up via your HORN BUTTON on your steering wheel. As a "secondary horn" or a "fun-toy" kind of addition, you might be better configured, legal and NOT give MV's a BAD NAME in your community. IMHO

Yes but they are more money, and more work to install than a selonoid...

Best thread I have seen in a long time.
Seems in place of finding the awesome train type valve maybe one could use a standard ball valve. And I'm thinkin' prototypes in PVC, final build in metal. But maybe I can get some lumber from sch 80 PVC.......HMMMM
I have always loved the train horns. For my first 5 years of life we lived a couple blocks from a switching yard that had a main line running through it. They off loaded the new cars there. Even when we moved 15 blocks away I could still hear the horns at night.........
I have to tell this story: My most memorable and favorite air horn story happened on the Queen Mary. One can walk all over the ship and up on the bridge. It's a great experience if you have never been there. So they warn everyone that the horns sound at 1200 hrs. I kept checkin' my watch to make sure we did not get blown off the bridge. No problem. It's only 1100 hrs. We have an hour before........CLICK.........ttttchWWWWAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My watch was still on mountain time. Darn near knocked the stool out of all of us. And there was this nice East Indian couple that was up there looking at stuff.......I think the lady pee'd her self. After we all peered out from whatever cover we could find and gathered ourselves for a moment we all had a huge laugh about it. It was awesome........And I would do it all over again.
