I'm looking for the links I posted to this exact video about 2 years ago on here ..... Can't find it though .

Can safely say, I have investigated this route, but trying to find a ferry horn (or whistle as they are properly called) is hard !!

I like this one :-

I have a decent enough supply of air to power one, it's just the 'stowing' which would be the issue !!

And it is bad when you have to have a trailer just for your horns !!! :-

I have a set of these that have been sitting in their box for about a year :-

http://www.hornblasters.com/products...3la-train-horn

They are a genuine set of horns, as used on US trains, the ones I have were made by Siege Engineering and are the 'Anvil' model, build quality is so much less than the proper article ...... But do you think I can find anywhere to fit them on my van, let alone my car !!!

This vid shows a set fitted to a yank truck :-
