Hand made train horn.

Description

You read that right, That's a train horn that's made out a PVC pipe, a couple metal parts, and a Funnel you use on your car. The horn it self somewhat sounded like a higher pitched horn that would be used on early diesel locomotives. Sadly though i don't think there will be any more of these made and this one may be put up and never used because every time you go to blow it you have to use more and more air (30 PSI the first time, Yesturday it was 60 PSI, Today it was about 90 PSI).
Update- After watching some videos of old "Blat" style train horns, AKA Typhoon horns, I found out that mine is tuned to sound just like a Leslie "Typhoon" A-200
Update #2- I got a video of how she sounds now. it takes alot of air to get it to sound so that's why you hear all that hissing as that's the air leaking out of it. youtu.be/GA7xANtu9Fw
