S3L’s, though later models than this.

At the time it was very hard to find, I actually had a straight bore #3 sent in to be machined down to a 3B (3L). These days they are pretty easy to get.

Correction, Roblox used audio from my video without permission.

The horn had holes for cones but no cones when I got it. The cones are replacements.

FM made all sorts of locomotive types. Switchers, road switchers, passenger ect.

🤣🤣🤣 pretty much

On the mounting base, same as other Leslie horns.

@@mafarnz There's an A-200 on ebay. The 9th picture shows numbers on the base. They appear to be 16528. Does that decode to a date somehow? Thanks.

Very common on early hood units to have two A-200’s back to back. Most often on two separate valves for forward and reverse horns.

@@mafarnzgood to know. Thanks for the info.

Yes the K5LA is very common in the US

So as an example, in my state the law states :No vehicle may be equipped with nor may any person use upon a vehicle any siren, whistle, or bell, except as otherwise permitted in this section." The law goes on to state that only emergency vehicles are permitted to have them, and only under certain decibel levels which locomotive horns exceed. Thus I can technically be pulled over for having illegal equipment on my vehicle. In a practical sense as long as I'm not being stupid and scaring people with it or using it in town cops don't really seem to care.

@@mafarnz That's great to know. Yet, I question whether a horn is a 'siren, whistle or bell though i could see the argument for being a whistle.

Slight variations in the bell castings, and a much better attention to quality control. The Burnett M5’s tended to be a lot closer to the intended tuning than the Nathan (American) made M5’s.

@ Is the Burnett M5 Canadian?

No it’s not illegal to own them. People can buy them from railroad scrap yards, locomotive dealers or direct from horn manufacturers. Most of my horns came from other collectors. Also I didn’t steal them I’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that my horns weren’t stollen. As to your last part about owning a railroad, I don’t at the time this was filmed but I do now.

Are you sure? Have you checked the federal laws in this matter?

Do you know what a felony is??

Um, like you can buy them at truck stops too.....some owner operators have them.... be careful who you cut off...

@@mafarnz People just dont know what they are talking about. I am a siren enthusiast and people have told me that its illegal to own a siren just dont listen to them, this is so cool.

I put a seatbelt around it, works really good and I can take the compressor out easily
