Default Anyone installed a train horn setup on their truck?

Anybody on here installed a train horn setup on their truck? Nineball the Admin of LS1TECH bought one with a compressor and three horns but said he couldnt find anywhere to fit it on his Ram 2500 without making a custom cross member. Anybody on here running one? Im looking for a smaller one that I can mount most of it to the frame.

Mine aren't the loudest, but they're compact and inexpensive...I got them from JC Whitney a few years back for less than $40. They use a small electric compressor and make enough noise to get people's attention:

I have some that'll end up on my Toyota. Should be very interesting when it's hooked up.

My buddy had one on his 88 rcsb off a Union Pacific train mounted in the spare tire location running off his bags reservior tank. Only problem blowing the horn while driving the bags will deflate and make your *** an anchor in the road till the compress can catch up
