Horn Fest 2022!! The Largest Train Horn Honk in America. Nathan, Leslie, Prime, Wabco, Kahlenberg

Train Horns, Ship Horns, PVC Air Horns we had them all this year! Horn Fest 2022 was a Success! The Largest Train Horn Honk in America!! Almost 100 horns were brought out this year! A mix of Leslie Supertyfon, Nathan Airchime, Prime, Wabco, Buell, Kahlenberg and custom PVC Air horns were brought out and most were from various railroads that span the nation. We had almost 200 gallons of air storage being pushed by 2 commercial air compressors. This was a blast and can’t wait for Horn Fest 2023!! #Hornfest

[@angelmalarkey7946]

That S5T hybrid horn sounded like a M5.

[@Tiger21820]

That's a lot of horns! Are those all part of a private collection? Imagine setting all of those off at once... *shudders*

[@SUMDUDE.]

I'm surprised at how good and how loud the pvc horns actually sounded

[@TheHornKing]

Yea those things will rip!

[@brodybombardir915]

I also love the sound of that BUELL B5

[@TheHornKing]

That’s one of my favorites

[@raymundouscanga]

Buell B5 sounds like Nathan K5LLA horn

[@gaspowertoys]

And the winner is…..RVB5! 😆 Dillon you doubled our event in content and fun. I can’t thank you enough for making this and bringing it! Your filmmaking skills are stellar also. 👊 ~Richard S.

[@TheHornKing]

Thanks man I appreciate it! Had a blast and can’t wait to do it again! Thank you for all the hospitality and kindness you showed everyone. Also your PVC horns are spot on! So cool to see and hear those on person!

[@robbem1661]

This is so cool hearing all those whistles blowing. I should come out with my RSL-3LR-F from a CNW GP50 built in 1980, and have a blast)))

[@angelmalarkey7946]

Wow all the train horns that I know and don’t know, cool 🤩

[@roadrailsrunwaysofwny]

13:14 that K5LL has Long Island Railroad written all over it! Im a fan

[@bnkwupt]

That Buell B5 is sweet! 🎶

[@TheHornKing]

One of my favorites!

[@Trainfan5547_YT]

when does he blow the big one edit: nvm i found it

[@barrioscorona215]

Scared the Devil out out of the guy pointing. 😂 21:31

[@fazthatcoyote]

Man I wish I could attend an event like this. Where do you learn of them/how do you get invited? Would love to finally put proper air through my NC P5

[@TheHornKing]

This one is a private event for now unfortunately. If there are ever any public events like this I will defiantly post it up!

[@brodybombardir915]

Love the sound of that M3 at 22:34

[@gaspowertoys]

Thank you Brody. My M3 is an Elwood Belknap horn I bought from his widow. Drove 600 miles one way to get. Also brought home a few others also honked in this video. This one came off (stamped into it) of C&NW GP7 1643.

[@bentheidioticnerd8993]

On a shortline i live near had a gp7u numbered 2158 with a hybrid rs3k. Miss it so much

[@zeeboss2762]

Imagine blowing all of these at once? RIP EARS!!

[@DisneyWish2023]

Lol 😂

[@themultiversalalien]

13:13 The K5LL has an interesting sound! Along with the 2PC 1L, it sounds like the 1,2,3,4 are Wide Font. Correct me if I am wrong!

[@System6VideoProductions]

LiRR

[@themultiversalalien]

@@System6VideoProductions Indeed, but according to someone else's video, it turns out that the Straight 4 bell hasn't been bored down, and is fighting the 2PC 1L bell!

[@jamtuazon5216]

That S5T hybrid I believe is a Leslie S5D just from its tuning as the S5D is pretty much leslies competitor horn against Nathan’s M5

[@TheHornKing]

Hey man yep it was an S5D good ear!

[@AkshajPlaysTrainGames]

9:59 The same train horn sounds like a NS/BNSF GEVO in Train Sim/Train Sim Pro

[@MCowie]

Have y’all been to Vancouver? We have a horn on one of the waterfront buildings that plays the 1st four notes of O Canada everyday at noon. You can hear it for miles.

[@TheHornKing]

Haven’t been there in person too hear those KMs but yes! Iv seen videos. Super cool

[@MCowie]

@@TheHornKing Lol. I never though to look it up on KZbin. I have been hearing it for 40 years, since I was a kid.

[@cawalshx2]

I aint been able to get to a honk yet but its nice to see that some of my old horns have. Gotta get a better truck to do the distance. Im hopin some day soon. GREAT VID DILLON!!!

[@22racer61]

the hybrid S5T sounded like your B5

[@DisneyWish2023]

4:41 sounds like a harmonica lol 😂

[@Railfanfoam]

That looks super fun

[@Railfanfoam]

I just want to blow the horn’s so bad

[@surfliner456]

4:12

[@MattRyanProjects]

That black and red M3 was my old one lol

[@TheHornKing]

I thought that was the one! Good sounding M3!

[@TWIGYBNSF]

WOW! Is this a private horn honk or is this something that could be attended? 👀

[@TheHornKing]

This one is private for now

[@SilverThunder710]

The S5T "Hybrid" is actually an S5D, Leslie's version of the M5

[@TheHornKing]

Yea I figured that out right after I put the vid up haha. Killer horn.

[@SilverThunder710]

@@TheHornKing No denying that, that's for sure. Great meatup

[@theidiotwithinternet]

14:17 incredible

[@nathanborino456]

21:32 my personal favorite

[@devernepersonal3636]

This is amazing that you do this. i wish i had ever collected horns. I love trains and the horns are my favorite, but my question is how you get the town to agree to the horn honk because of the sound?

[@TheHornKing]

Luckily we are outside the city limits there on a farm. Lots of land around us

[@fireman614c9]

lookin to get a k3 an k5 sometime soon i hope

[@trainwreck0856]

Nicely done. Good video .. next.time have one from far away so it doesn't sound so distorted.. nice work though

[@TheHornKing]

Thanks and yea I’d like to get alittle farther away next time just a lot of running to The camera to start and stop videoing. Wish I could just let it roll for the whole 7 hours But unfortunately I can’t.

[@barrioscorona215]

Dude that is so cool. How do you keep track of who's are who's? What is big bore mean on that K5? Love that your brought that RVB5 😂 26:12

[@TheHornKing]

Haha yea man that RVB 5 stole the show 😂 and #5 K Bells have a smaller bore size than other bells but the late 70s and very early80s #5 were cast to the same size and all other bells. That’s why there called Big Bore bells

[@barrioscorona215]

@@TheHornKing I definitely would want to own any RVB horn they sound so crazy. Thank you for the information. ℹ️📣

[@supertyfon1736]

That must of bin fun. And if that S203 is yours I hope to see you do a vid on it.

[@TheHornKing]

Yea I had to pick it up. It will be on the channel in the future

[@supertyfon1736]

@@TheHornKing Nice.

[@MRRAILFANVON]

Where’s the website to get these!

[@RailsOfTheSouth]

Those m horns are hungry for that air aren't they lol. isnt a k5ll a k5hl but with a 2p1l? I'm not that familiar with Nathan p bells, could you name them please? And why does your s3k sound like a k3h? BTW I noticed there was an AA-2 that wasn't blown or did you not get it on camera?

[@railfancam]

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe a k5ll has the 1L on a low mount/manifold with all of your regular bells or it might not even be a possible combo for all I know

[@TheHornKing]

Yea that K5LL was similar to a K5HL just with a low mount manifold. And yea there were several horns that I didn’t get on video due to a dead battery and running out of space. The AA2 was In That group.

[@rarleyposting5546]

I swear to god if you show me the pizza again I will drown my phone with drool. 🤤

[@aclv27]

Oh what i'd give for an s203

[@TheHornKing]

I’ll have the S203 up sooner or later. Right now Iv actually got it modded to blow at 77hz and it’s a beast

[@RDC2003]

16:21 this is what amtraks E60's had

[@RDC2003]

Random question: are mixed cast P5’s rarer than either Old or new cast p5’s

[@TheHornKing]

Quite a few mix cast P5s out there. Most with an OC4 from what Iv seen. I wouldn’t really call them rare. Fully OC P5s are much rarer.

[@RDC2003]

@@TheHornKing yeah, I suspected that. I just used to think it was OC or NC
