Putting my train horn kit together!

First steps towards getting this together!

Starting mock up!

Trying to put up more than one photo seems to be a problem for me.

Horns

Four compressors?

Someone plans to blow those horns a lot LOL

Looking good so far. Where are you planning to mount the horns?

Yeah snake I have a 20 gallon tank didn't want to run out of air lol I'm also going to be running my air bags off of it.

Vader I'm going to mount them underneath where the spare tire should be. I have kept it in the bed since the wire rotted away.

I'm interested how your going to run both the horns and bags from the tank. I wanna do the same with mine.

Nick I'll keep updating this post as it all comes together ill keep you as informed as I am.

Going to be a cool project . And louddddd . I have a kl5a and 6 gallons with a single compressor , it empties way to fast .

Damnnnnn thats awesome.

They make tanks with more than one outlet for running more than one thing from them. I had an s10 that was body dropped and on air bags. It was really shoddy work and I ended up taking a huge hit when I sold it but it was cool for a little while. The air tank it had actually had 6 spots for lines to go in or come out. And it ran two air compressors for that tank. You run electric solenoids to switches in the cab that will open them to do whatever you want. Or to electric computer valves or gauges for air bags. Whatever you want, but the point I'm trying to make is the tanks are out there.

I picked up a 20 gallon 6 port tank so that should work out!

Yup. Just make sure you put water seperators between the pumps and the tank. There will be a lot of water in it. Empty it about every oil change and you should be good. Might be more during humid months.

Cool setup, interested in seeing it come together. I'm about to do onboard air on my truck for horns and rear bags.

Me too, manually inflating bags sucks

Does anyone know if the "air horn" valves, that can be opened with 12v will hold up being used as valves to inflate/ deflate rear air bags? Or are there special 12v operated air valves for that?

Google for vehicle air bag kits and those companies will have the valves your looking for. The setup I used to have in a truck used two valves. One to fill each bag and one to deflate.
