The train horns are much bigger than the baby horns in the picture. I may have measurements tommorrow. I emailed a guy to see if he could get them for Me. These horns are heavy also. Made out of aluminum or at least the set I got donated to me are bu, seem dense. I just cannot relate in anyway how loud these are. It is all relaive to the pressure you put through them. The guy that showed Me his sound was off the hook. We had people come from way down the street to see what it was. I would say 1/2 mile away and from next street over with buildings seperating. You can control the loudness depending on how much of a risk taker you are.

But, You need to keep in mind that these horns are used on a train going what 30 to 60 MPH depending on if in a city crossing and they are heard with no problem above the train engine and track noise going on at the same time.
LOUD is all I can say.

No doubt. They will cause more accidents than they will prevent. Here is something close to the ones I was talking about. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
