My Train Horn Setup- K5LA/E-Bell

[@knowitall6180]

I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

[@MidwestAdventures]

What lol

[@rafe5556]

Paint your truck to look like a union pacific locomotive.

[@Rochester_Sub_Productions]

asian LOL that would be so cringe but awesome at the same time and funny!!!

[@radanju3]

Now you gave me an idea to repaint my truck to a Phase III Amtrak paint scheme.

[@FXE-nf8uf]

The truck's paint scheme is very similar to a blue NdeM paint scheme.

[@keatonsparksvideoproductions]

This horn and bell are feom an amtrak locomotive

[@KaciCooperations]

Paint the RailWheel to make a rescue

[@eshollen]

I have a union pacific nathan P3 and I love it. The k5 sounds so darn good. This might be the only truck I've seen with a bell and I'm very impressed by that bit

Thank you!

*empathy kicks in* Hm, maybe I shouldn’t blow the horn, it’s too early. *real emotion kicks in* f* it.

Wiring looks professional AF 👍

[@danbristow7581]

That's freaking awesome you got a nice setup there Bell is icing on the cake and that's pretty clean looking truck you got to

"its too earlym 8-30 in the morning.... f*ck it!" HONK he he he brilliant!!

[@Goofy_Rich]

My K3LA on my '06 Scion XB (w/E Bell[hidden in the front driver side quarter panel]), can be done by remote and NOT just by my dash button!! Yes I've learned NOT to squat/get under my vehicle with the remote in my pocket!!!! 13 Gal tank, max PSI about 125, right now still on 1 12V compressor. 1/2 in hose line ran up to between the seats with a pressure gauge, so I know when to put power to the compressor (don't want the compressor to run when parked and engine not running). '16 road trip had some 1/2 in hose inline, but '17 road trip was FULLY piped 1/2 in, BIG difference! Horn ate more air and was louder!!

[@bloodystinktube321]

Lol, that's fucking sweet. And thanks for making this video. I planned on mounting a set just like yours in my spare tire well on my van, then saw another video with them mounted on a pickup cab, and they looked way too big. Glad to know they'll fit!

This train horn sounds just like the Amtrak train horn go transit uses graham white e bells

[@dannyfleck9051]

“Fuck it” words to live by 😂😂😂

[@BobbyT.]

Once I get the money I want a set up like that with a horn and maybe an e-bell. That is if I can ever get ahold of an e-bell.

[@hrsmotorsports3459]

Scott Iwen lol yep

[@iwens1966]

Gman987654321 I SWEAR TO GOD I heard a K5LA in Algoma a few months back. I know the train doesn't come to Algoma anymore. Could that have been you? Not many people, like none, have train horns here.

[@MidwestAdventures]

Sorry for the late reply, but wasnt me, havent been to algoma in ages!

[@phd4581]

Horns are easy to get but finding an e bell is pretty difficult.

[@CloroxGodThe1st]

love the horn and I hope to see more train horn pranks but aye how many miles you got on the truck?

[@MidwestAdventures]

StraightPipe Gaming hard to believe but it has over 210k miles

[@CloroxGodThe1st]

Gman987654321 thats amazing, thats why I love Chevy

[@UltraMagaFan]

Id love to get a K5LA but the cheapest one i found was $1300 id rather get save up a little bit more and get a Vangaurd motor for my longtail.

[@AlexanderTheSimmer]

4:20 sounds like the ACS64 and the ATDW05 NightWarrior (electric/ Diesel Locomotive) which I am planning to make in Roblox

[@partulandia]

Fantastic

[@RFE812]

Have you tried a K125(a K3 with bells 1 2 & 5) it sounds like a K5LA without the 3A & 4A.

[@microbusss]

need this set up on a Speeder car hehe

[@code3responsevideos872]

How long can you blow the horns on that tank before it starts getting weak?

[@MidwestAdventures]

If you go back to me older videos I did one with honk time

[@SargentH12121]

was that a pa system or siren in the cab? or a radio?

How much did you pay for the e-bell.

It was around 350 I believe.

[@NSSCOTTTEAGUE]

Should aim to the back of the truck so nothing gets in side the horns.

protect the diaphragms that way. Doesn't hurt the sound.

Hi so the converter link in the description is no longer on sale. Do you have any other links to the correct converter? www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Converter-Automatic-Regulator-Transformer/dp/B0757FK2L3 Could this work? It's puts a 5 amp output and I know the bell only takes 1-2 amps, is that fine?
