In this video we are comparing actual Nathan AirChime train horns.
All 3 horns are mounted with the same compressor, same switches and same size tanks.
We have the P3 vs K3 vs K5 right beside each other so you can decide which one you like the best!

The Nathan Airchime K5LA is my most favorite horn!

I like the P3. I was and Conductor/ engineer on a tourist line for 20 plus years and we had to take our horns off daily due to theft. Good thing we never caught the thieves. They'd Fart through it the rest of their life. We lost at least 6 horns and a bell plus tons of other equipment. (A rebuilt hydraulic cylinder for a boom truck. and air brake valves worth thousands as valves, crap as scrap due to the asshole not knowing what they're made of- Brass) We are a volunteer group and didn't have money for that SHIT.

I'd love to get one of those, but my dream is a Nathan K5H. Those were/are used on BC Rail, and the sound they make is something to behold! I'd recommend getting one if you can get your hands on one.

I think the K5LA need bigger hose or bigger air switch, because the sound is kind a restricted. Or maybe one of the chime got foulded with debris, mud, or sand and need to be cleaned out before anything bad happen

The key to LOUD train horns is volume, volume, volume. As in air volume. Make sure all your plumbing is a min. of 5/8" or larger.

@petermalanchuk8210 6 ай бұрын

My favorite was the Nathan K3LA. I believe these were used on all of the LIRR diesel locomotives from 1950 thru 1968, except for the Alco RS1, which used a single chime flat note horn, if I'm correct, all back in the day of my youth.

@@ShaneGoddard1 you guys have 5 gallon tanks. I have a 3 gallon tank and I’m going with the P3. Horn blasters told me it will probably only last three seconds. What do you think? I guess three seconds is enough time. I don’t know. but since you said with a 5 gallon tank, you get 12 seconds maybe I’ll get more than three?

@@BrettL250 Yes, all of us have 5 gal tanks. I have no idea what a 3-gallon would be like, but if possible I would at least get a 5-gallon. If you can only fit a 3-gallon just roll with it because it will still be a blast!
