sounds like a k5lla

@@RailfanAndy it’s a K5HLA, no CSX unit has a K5LLA

@@RailfanAndy the ACe’s didn’t even have them, they were all K5LAs unless modified

It's a k5hll

hi

Now arriving from Los Angeles on track 1, train number five, the Amtrak Coastal Starlight for San Bernardino, Anaheim, Riverside, Azusa, Cucamonga, Pasadena, Oakland, San Jose, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. All passengers must board on platform three

Almighty Doge I really dig the Nathan K5la

Eddy Spaghetti A200s are definitely an icon of railroading. I like sounds that are beautiful and up-beat like the P7 and Mixed p5, I’ve loved the M5 since I was like 7 or 8, it’s a sad tune and reminds me that railroading is a dying job, and it’s vital for us rail-fans to document and record trains to saver the memory.

why do you all love the A200

@@buzzytrains9037 cuz it's the greatest horn ever.

@@TRAINGUY-ey3hj I like the RS5T though

@@buzzytrains9037rs5t’s aren’t as good irl. They’re very nice, but I’d personally say they’re on par with a raised letter k5h. At least from my experience

Ofc before its horn got stolen

Most diesels from different railroads such as the Penn Central have standard Nathan k5lla horns. When I'm up in Oregon with my mother, I hear the Nathan k5lla and the new cast Nathan P3 along with a Nathan raised letter k3la from either the Union Pacific or the Central Oregon and Pacific railroads

@@charlesweeks6993 have you heard of the Willamette Valley short line railroad based out of Woodburn one of the engines has a awesome p5 horn on it

@@djtrainman2 nope, I only hear the Nathan new cast P3, the Nathan raised letter k3la and the Nathan k5lla from the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad, which is the only railroad of its kind that I see in Oregon when I'm with my mom

I love that classic horn

M5s are definitely one of the best horns tone wise ever made, if I'm not mistaken the loudest even beating the K5LLA

Did the L&N F’s have the M5?

@@johnathanhardin152 yea they did, also A200’s

@@Snakeman-kw5ns I'm pretty sure the L&N equiped some on their RS series units too

@@buccaneerrailfanning1776 I agree I love the sound

Yea she’s not as loud as I thought but still a loud, beautiful horn

Narrow Font is Great

what about K5LAs and P5s

@@roadrailsrunwaysofwny K5LA's are way too overrated and over used, they just sound like a regular plane Jane train horn and I don't understand what the big deal is about them. And p5s sound just like an m5.

you could never call K5LAs overrated and how are they overused you need eardrops

Correct!

The ef4 Little Joe has the exact same horn. Gustavo from Thomas & Friends season 24 is based on the ef4 Little Joe

Yeah I didn't know all the horn types back then, wish I could've changed it.

@@buccaneerrailfanning1776 it’s fine! All good 😁

That's a K5HLA, they do sound similar to K5LLAs. The difference is that the K5HLAs have an american tuned 4A bell and a 5 bell, with the bell sequence of 1L, 2, 3, 4A and 5. The K5LLA has a 3A, with the sequence of 1L, 1, 2, 3A and 4A.

@@thealmightydoge5653 I know. What about the K5HLL?

Well yes and no. It was kind of like a personal project for someone, look up P7 horn. I thought it sounded pretty cool so I threw it on the list

Here is the KZfaq link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fN2XpNWf0bOmiWg.html

The P7 was a private horn for an A&A excursion train and an R&N coal train, which is why they only made 3 examples.

It’s is, it’s just not an official design but a custom design

@@thealmightydoge5653 there was one, it was a custom my Ed Kapriske (RIP)
