My K-5LAR24 Horn

This my K-5LA horn I got from an Ex NS engineer in NC. I had the Camera behind the shed and pointed south. This allows some of the echo to be heard better, plus keeping the horn sound quality up without distortion. I then tour the horn setup and show the the air system. I don't show the compressor. LOL, look what I have it set up on. The bells are 1, 2, 3A, 4A, and 5. Castting numbers for all the bells is 30109. The cassting number for the manifold is 30115L (low mount). I hope you enjoy the sound of CSX, NS, and Amtrak glory while it lasts. Yes, New K-5LAs being shipped to NS are not in tune or has different bell combinations. Well, anyways.

Why are the last two horns to the right backwards?

[NSAaron]

@TheChosenOne1960 THEY JUST ARE!!! LOL JK. The railroads turn those two bells backwards for multi-directional signaling. Helps with the volume when they run the locomotives backwards.

you know where i could buy one of the same versions u have there? Love the sound and echo and i would pay for one similar to this. If u have any info please reply =) also,,,, if anyone knows where i could obtain an air tank for the horn to would be great

[NSAaron]

Check Ebay, they often have the K5LA, do not buy directly from the company...as for air tanks, Air Horns of Texas (aka grover air horns) has tanks and compressors as individuals, for plumbing, local hardware store, lowes, home depot

@TheChosenOne1960 Thats one way you know for sure that it is a K5LAR-24 other than the unique sound. Most modern K5LAs are all bells foward while the K5HL has 3 on top that are foward and two on bottom that are back. Then the K5LAR-24 has 3 foward and two back. It is interesting when you think about how you can distinguish horns from one another other than the sounds they make.

LOL i want one for when im riding my bike LOL

[Seaboard1321]

Man I wish I had one of those.....nice!!

[Newport1974]

@TheChosenOne1960 That is the way they were made. When on Top of a Train, the sound would blow to the Front and Rear to make sure it was heard.

Awesome video!I love the way that horn sounds.I usually hear those kind of horns because freight trains run right behind my house and I am a huge railroader fan. That looked familiar of NS trains because on my HO Scale model train it was built the same way.Thanks for sharing the info on the horns!
