Am running a set of train horns on the daughters truck. Work nicely running off a spare port on the tank. Works great at 145psi but not sure I would try them at 200psi.

ive got a set of kelinn train horns. i think the 220s. they are loud as hell with 200psi. best results with any horns is to have them mounted facing down towards the ground. the sound bouncing off the ground will double to loudness of any horn you get. i think i paid nearly $200 on ebay for them brand new in box.

Have no idea what horns I have. There are 3 horns clustered together and they are pointed at a 45 degree angle at the ground. And yes, they are loud as he!!

edit - this is them....
