Train Horns! Piano Edition

[OLDSMOMOLD]

Love this post, man. I'm trying to make my mind up on which Nathan variant to buy for my truck...and I like the K5HL the best. Cheers!!!

great vid! Is there a way you can play a K5HL on the piano?

[TommyBNSF]

Sorry for two comments, but I was messing around with a piano on an RS2M and I noticed playing it a half step up makes it sound like it's coming at me at maybe about 40-50 mph and playing it a half step below is going away. I may be wrong, but that's what I think.

[tixonok1]

@TommyBNSF train?

[TommyBNSF]

The second K5H option I believe is what it would sound like coming at a fast pace and the first one is at a dead stop.

[cweis127]

You know much about the K5HLL?

[Seaboard1321]

@cweis127 Yes, its a K5HL with two 1 bells, thats where the LL comes in

[cweis127]

@Seaboard1321 Yeah, two 1L bells...which replaces the #5 on the K5H. but ive never heard of a K5HA.. I think youre trying to make a point across that the K5H is two different tuning options. A Canadian-tuned K5H is on a low manifold (K5L)

[cweis127]

#2 is american tuning

[Seaboard1321]

@cweis127 Yes. The K5H looks just like a K5LA. Canadian tuned K5LA, none the less. K5HA/K5HR24 are amaerican.

Wow that thing with keys is neat? What do you call it again?

[Seaboard1321]

@npadul30 playing the piano? lol

[drumkid330]

Neat!!!!

[tylereightynine]

does 722 from Potomac Eagle have an s3l?

[Seaboard1321]

@tylereightynine I would have to listin to it. Want to send me one of it?

[djluna96]

Dude,,,, you did a very good job on demonstrating the different note chord configuration of the different railroad horns... 5 stars and a thumbs up... I will tell you though the K5h is tuned to the option one chord that you demonstrated. I also would have liked to have heard the K5LA notes....but other than that... Excellent!!!

[Seaboard1321]

@djluna96 Thanks man!! Sense this video I have learned a few more, so ill for sure make another one with a K5LA in it!!

[K5H13760]

I like #1, good job!

My K5H which is mounted on top of my 3/4 ton GMC plays: D# F# A# C natural, & D#.

My particular K5H was manufactured around 1974. Thus it is a little off the original chord by a bit.

[Seaboard1321]

@K5H13760 Ahh lucky!!! I want a train horn SO BAD!!!

[ConrailJon]

Since a K5LA (or K5HA) is D# F# G# B D#, and the only difference between a K5 and and a K5A is the 3 and 4 bells (3A and 4A bells on the K5A, straight 3 and 4 bells on the K5) only 2 notes would be different.

[Seaboard1321]

@ConrailJon I have figured the difference. The correct K5H or K5HR24 is the first one in the video. I will have another train horn video in the future.

[mona6302]

Number 1 sounds better

[1991conrail]

awesome, how good are you at playing paino?

[Seaboard1321]

@1991conrail Thanks man! Ive been playing for 11 years

[UP5140SD70M]

option 2 is better

[Seaboard1321]

[UP5140SD70M]

[UP5140SD70M]
