    Finding a certain horn I am looking for

    Hello, so I have a question that I am curious about. Does anyone here know perhaps who made this horn in this video and where I could possibly find it if I were to put it on a locomotive? or know a real life video of where this horn is from? I know this horn is from the K5LA series but I have been searching for years when I saw this video and till this day I have not found it anywhere and it really is a good sounding horn as well.

    Any advice on this would help!​

    That horn is from Diesels West, they were one of the best payware vendors for locos, but they no longer sell anything. You can search the forum here for "diesels west" for more info

      Oh wow wait really? I actually didn't know that. Man, that's sad though, would've been nice to see if they still had the horn. Do you know if I am able to contact them in any way to also ask them that question if possible?

            So, I am on their website but I am lost and it looks like their registration is down too, so I guess I'm not sure exactly of how else I can reach them but I do see their links that they affiliate with of the different companies.

              Best search the File Library here for sounds, there are plenty of horn options.

                  Well, it would also be nice to know if they got the horn off from a real-life video of a train that had that horn but yeah I will search on the File Library and see because yeah there are a lot of horns there.

                    Many of those in the file library here state they are recorded from the actual horns of the type.

                      Oh, okay I see. Well, I guess I meant in that case, which video recording they got the horn from.

                        It could have been from an audio recording. Or a personal audio or video recording. There is no requirement to document the source.
