I need a train horn. Help!

[STP]

Guys, I was almost written off by a bloody old codger in a huge mitsubishi thing at 60mph in the rain, daft old twat cut right in front of me to avoid crushing a little silver hatchback in front of him. He was doing at least double the speed limit.

I had to swerve to avoid me and the wife getting wiped out. We pulled up behind the mitsubishi and blasted the horn. Peep peep like flipping postman pat! He probably never even heard it!

I followed the mitsubishi to get alongside and realised it was two 80 year olds, barely tall enough to see out of the windscreen. At that point I peeled away and left them alone.

I need a HORN! I want something that sounds like an Artic lorry or a Train. Desperately. This horn doesn't not cut the mustard.

Suggestions please, I want ear bleeding "wtf was that" horns.

Preferably the sound of an intercity 125 or a 40 ton Artic.

Not exactly a train horn but I fitted this without any need for additional relay wiring. Good deal louder

Like the previous poster, I think any of the Hella or PIAA twin horns would be the way to go.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the input. I want horns that make someone shit their pants. Instead of "excuse me I'm here" I want "HOI YOU BELL-END"

Surely there must be something better.

Just go with traditional air horns with mini compressor wired up via relay its just finding somewhere to mount the horns so doesnt get water ingress...

Thanks all, good shouts. I'll have a look at all of these and read the reviews. Probably overthinking it after getting a bit of a fright thinking we were going to get wiped out.

The dual, 2 tone horns on fancier VW versions sound really nice. Go to a wreckers yard and find the other side, then tee the wiring across. The horns are labelled high and low, you need the low. Both sounds really good - loud, but not cheap sounding.

Perfect, never thought of that. Thanks mate.

I had air horns and a mini compressor on an old rally car and didn't find them massively more impactful than any other horn. Maybe it was the ones I had, but they sounded a little bit like a clown car to me, and there was an ever so slight delay between pressing the horn and hearing the horn, presumably the time it took the compressor to move the air to the business end of the horn.

If you want bowels to move get a Hornblasters kit. You might get pulled by the cops though
