Metrolink Test Train with NEW Cabcar 638

[trume12]

in the front from a curtain view it looks like a p42dc

[randomguy652]

No. NO! Metrolink, PLEASE don't go overboard with K2 horns.

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

Nice K2!!

[xtremepadrefan]

UGLY ASS P2

[UP1996Chaser]

@xtremepadrefan It's a K2, NOT a P2.

[TrainDr101]

@UP1996Chaser: sounds just as ugly to me.

[MrUp8444]

SHINEY

[penguingeneral2]

That is pretty freakin' sweet.

[Amtrak458]

Looking at this again and hearing that K2 makes me real happy there are only gonna be five cabcars.

[AmtrakFan454]

@Amtrak458 Needs cones instead of metal screens.

...

But then again, look at 6904.

[Amtrak458]

@AmtrakFan454 The cones don't change the way a horn sounds. They have nothing to do with it. I don't see why people don't get that yet.

[AmtrakFan454]

@Amtrak458 Now that I think of it, Amtrak DOES have cones on a lot of their P42s, none of which alter the dynamics of the horn. 6904's horn is actually tuned to high.

...

The old Metrolink air whistles were the best, though.

[CoasterFan2105]

@AmtrakFan454 Most of the K5's on amtrak, including the F59's, have cones over at least a couple, if not all, of the bells. This is to prevent snow and other debris from cloging the horn. It also slightly reduces the volume of noise.

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

@AmtrakFan454 I saw 638's K2 in LAUS. They ARE coned!

[CoasterFan2105]

@Amtrak458 Now theyre up to 660 :(

[pimpinhector]

What the heel is that shieeet.

[UP5853]

One word for that horn:

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC­CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[BNSF7508]

[UP5853]

@BNSF7508 Your'e kidding me right?

[BNSF7508]

@UP5853 No

[trainmasta227]

[ocrailfan]

UGH! That horn is worst than the normal P2!!!!

[gmchdblue]

They seem to be K Bells 1 & 3

Micro Precision has a pic and sound clip on their web site

[kylecascadden]

FUCK!!!!! It has an E-bell!!!!!! WTF seriously.

[UP1996Chaser]

@kylecascadden It's not a big deal so.... DEAL WITH IT!

[kylecascadden]

@UP1996Chaser wow really mario? Really? jk but yeah it'll be ok

[UP1996Chaser]

@kylecascadden LOL

[AMTK510]

Looks like the shit express came to town.

[gmchdblue]

They have 2 Airchime K bells with flat metalscreens covering the bell flares.

I'll get the bell numbers posted as soon as I confirm.

Way to much air pressure, [push button control.] or the mic is out of its close-up range.

I kinda like the looks of the darn things.
