How to build PVC Train Horns part 3

Here is the part 3 to our train horn videos. Check it out and if you haven't seen 1 or 2 check those out as well! Thanks!

Again, I am very impressed. I could never figure out to tune the strait pipe so precisely as you guys have, so I might have to use your design in the future. I didn't actually have a specific angle in mind for the bells, I just found a decently curved shaped mold and just worked form there. Unless you get on the forums with real diehard horn enthusiast, I dont think you'll be able to find what curved radius the horns are formed to (I dont think that information is listed anywhere...I've look). I also really like your air valve, I hope you do a video covering that some day. I'm working on a more compact design for the main horn housing but I'm running into a lot of snags, I'll upload a video when I get a decent result. Keep up the great work, I learn something new from every video.

WOW ! my friend, this is a very impressive video, and very good sounding horns. Thanks for the mention and the nice comments. I'm glad to have been a part in the process of your designs. That's what these videos are for, to inspire. You have done a great job. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing many more videos from you. Big respect from Virginia.

That Old Cast P5 was KILLER!

Horn blasts at 6:04 and 6:20. Nice!

I see you guys are still using Plexiglas/poly for your diaphragms. I started out using plexi for diaphragms when I first started making horns and it worked ok when I was just building and experimenting in the garage like you guys are doing. However when I actually mounted the horns on a vehicle and started using them daily I found the plexi didn’t hold up. For my 2” and 3” horns I now make my diaphragms out of hobby metal “K&S .015 Brass sheets” and found that it holds up a lot better and unlike the plexi that I was constantly having to replace after a couple weeks of continuous use, now when I get a ring in the brass from the nozzle I just buff it out with some 0000 steel wool and throw it back in the horn. You guys might want to give it a try!!!

[@davecragen5757]

Excellent stuff! I too am curious about where to procure polycarbonate and how to cut it, pull valve and horn bracket stand diagram. Thanks for posting!!

[@treos17]

man this is awesome, id love to make one of these but with the amount of time i think i just stick to using the real thing when I'm at work running them

[@fredspindor1624]

Great Job Great project

[@KM3W]

Phenominal horns.....how much to make me a K5LA or an M-5? Do you make any Leslie's, like the S3L?

[@allanequipirados]

I really enjoyed your work. I wonder if you sell these train horns?

[@bindig1]

Whoa! That's the real thing

[@VSavage122]

AWESOME Videos Gentlemen!! You have put a great deal of research, time and effort into producing these. Are your air valves in this video available for purchase retail or are they custom made? I REALLY like these!!

[@EasternCoastProductions]

Did you make the valve at 6:02 or did you buy it?

[@helihoot]

Thanks for the secrets. How do you tune them? Alter the length of the 1" tube How do you change the time they blow off?

[@lucassheridon9809]

helihoot I think the less pressure on the diaphragm the sooner it sounds

[@aryrobmedina]

how can I buy some from you guys?

[@canav8]

Austin. I have a question for you or your dad. Why do you use straight pieces of the rubber instead of a complete round gasket like you made in this video for the piece between both diaphragms?Is it important to let air by the first diaphragm? Thanks. This a great project and I am trying to build one for the boy scouts.So the scouts can learn something about music, and mechanical engineering. It covers so many topics. Thanks for taking the time to share. Doug

[@Matsci101]

AWESOME WORK MAN!!!!!

[@Tacticalwalleye]

Hey fellas. I have attempted to make this horns for some time now. I'm at the point were im just going to buy real train horns lol I don't know if you guys ever sell any of these but if you do I definitely but one of these from you.

[@MusicMath123]

6:04 over and over again

[@vger13]

I want to build one big ship/fog horn What would I do differently to get it big deep and loud

[@DjMt431]

i would definitely buy one from you guys if y'all sold them

[@keithbennett4430]

Hi guys, love your videos. Have a couple questions for you. 1) You are always talking about how important the rubber is that you use. Could you tell me where you found it? The only thing I have found is Frost King sponge rubber weather stripping is that it? 2) I'm currently working on a three horn and eventually a five and really like your your brackets. Do you have any diagrams you could share? 3) I also noticed in the video your air throttle or pull for lack of a better term. Did you guys make these, if not where did you get them? Thanks for any help you can give me. Happy Thanks Giving Keith

[@richardkwiatkowski8747]

how or where did you get the instructions/ purchase place for the lever ? hornblasters sells em but for $200 bucks a bit much for one valve .

[@lui459]

Awsome do you make and sell them? I really like the k5la and wounder how much it would cost?

[@nivlac4150]

+Austin Mattingly how much did it cost to build the horn

[@Viralclown]

I love g strings

[@chrisbarrett8512]

Would guys ever consider selling a set of those horns?

[@ronnieakers523]

Do you guys sale any of these horns ? Send a link if so.. Thanks

[@tehpimpmasta]

I would pay you good money for one of these!

[@TheEliteBrownie]

How did you make your valve? Or did you buy it?

[@Bowtie41]

At 4:45,I'm unclear as to what you are adjusting to make one bell open before another?If you are unscrewing the main body,doesn't it make the tone change?The top of the video is chopped off,so I can't see what you are turning.Thank You!

[@michaelortiz4250]

I tell you that's amazing what you did with PVC pipe. douyu give out diagram how to build these for the people if you do please send me a list I would appreciate that my name is Mike thank you

[@iwf-impactwrestlingfederation]

Where can I buy one at

Have you ever wondered which frequencies to use to make people involuntarily lose water? Try a nest of horns tuned to these frequencies. The trick is to use elbows, to make the pipe as long as you wanted it and try to manage it. I know they say, you can't hear certain frequencies but, if you mix them together, that's all different. Just to be honest, use a frequency counter. So, grab a horn for each frequency because, this makes a noise. scontent.fsjc1-3.fna.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/13576736_1062700333766863_4993905756802271030_o.jpg

[@jameselger572]

It sounds like a Fart of God.

[@fivelugmedia3172]

Send me a message if you could I have some questions

[@ericbrooking]

Why 2 diaphragms?

[@tehpimpmasta]

The actual real Nathan’s use multiple. I believe their metal aswell.
