Product Description

Looking for an authentic train horn? How about the same horn that is used on many locomotives still today?  With our Nathan AirChime K3 540 Train Horn Kit, you get the real deal: an actual train horn pulled straight from a retired locomotive powered by one of our fastest premium onboard air systems! These die-cast horns are not for the faint of heart. If you are wanting the same majestic train horn sound you hear when you are stopped at the railroad tracks, this is the kit for you!

Our Nathan AirChime K3 540 Train Horn Kit features the classic Nathan Airchime K3 Train Horns: A 3-chime die-cast horn that was built to withstand anything Mother Nature can throw at it and sound great doing it. Tried and tested for decades, you won't find a more dependable horn or a more recognizable train horn sound. Oh, and did we mention they are one of the loudest horns you can buy? With a smaller profile than it’s 5-chime big brother, the K3 is the horn of choice for many show trucks and daily drivers alike.

With a beast of a horn this size, you just can’t settle for a mediocre air system. With our Nathan AirChime K3 540 Train Horn Kit, you get one of our fastest-filling premium onboard air systems. Our Black 5-Gallon 8-port tank provides enough air to blast your K3 Train Horns for an entire 5-seconds continuous seconds, ensuring that you get your point across. The Viair 400C that powers the system is one of the fastest-filling compressors we carry, able to recharge our 5-gallon tank from 110-150 PSI in a stunning one minute and 40 seconds! Like all of our train horn kits, the Nathan AirChime K3 540 Train Horn Kit come complete and includes all required hardware and instructions.
