They came off an EMU, but have also checked and the are the same ones off a Class 73 ans surprisingly, I saw at the National Railway Museum, they are identical to the ones on the nose of the Deltic!!! Wierd!!
Being totally nerdish here...but they sound like a Southern units horn...either a DC electric or a Diesel Electric... Still brilliant stuff! Always wanted a motor with a two-tone horn like that :D
Track down a Leslie RS5T and then you'll have something to scare people with...:)

On these horns I had a one airtank with two pipes coming off it and two separate solenoids controlling each horn.
I have now got Class 37 horns, and the correct toggle air 'handle'

WOW!, can you please make a video of your class 37 horns? also showing the toggle handle too?

I will do later in 2009, the truck is off the road at the moment, but thanks for the interest,

Cool, I was really after Class 37 horns, AND the lever, but I think I'd need a bigger engine to haul all these horns!! Lol!!

Our group has a Bristol RE bus, with a pair of class 40 horns, and even the hi-lo lever mounted in the cab!
