Tone -
For a few terror-filled days
we cruised the highway testing different horns to see which "sound"
people responded to most quickly. Admittedly this was sick, but fun. We
watched people react to different horns:
- Too high a pitch, you sound like a motor
scooter.
- Too low a pitch and people don't seem to
notice much.
- But when you hit that distinctive
"Locomotive coming through" pitch, people got out of our way fast!
- We tune our horns to the distinct
& classic "Locomotive" pitch.
Chrome Everywhere-
We chromed not
just the outer trumpets, but also the caps and the air manifold. Why?
Two reasons. One it looks good. Two, it lets people tell the difference
between "our horn" and the "the clones." Our horn is one of the few
that has a chromed manifold. "The clones" save a few dollars by using
plastic or paint.
No Installation Headaches-
This one hit us as a surprise
when we first started doing this, but should have been obvious. Many
other horn bundles have flared the trumpets so wide that their assembly
is nearly a foot wide and 16" tall! You simply can't fit a lot of the
horns on the market under
the hood. They simply won't fit. You
will have NO
installation headaches with our train horn kits.
