Hello! This is a thread of..... Wayside Horns! :Eeeeek:

But I have two videos for you to watch, (I know I have posted one already but it is the only other one I can find) and you decide which would rather hear.


CTC, Inc.


Quiet Zone Tech


Just please don't throw wrenches in the cog by saying "I would rather hear a K5LA"

CTC's horns at least sound semi-realistic.

The first one definitely sounds more realistic.

I noticed the video states "the wayside horns are louder than the locomotive". I do not agree with that statement. The wayside horns sound loud because the person taking the video was standing right there at the crossing. A locomotive horn is much louder and carries a lot further than those crappy little speakers. :Roll:

They never wanted the sound to travel farther than the crossings.
