The k5lla is my favorite of all. I’ve always liked the strong sound that it has

Who else laughed at that quill he was doing at 0:46

Yeah quilling a horn is nice, but try setting up the camera half a mile away and blowing the damn things!

[chaytonruijsenaars]

i bet his neighbors never get tired of that! personally i need me a few train horns on my car

[KJW-Transit]

I love the older wave of K5 LA air horns. The new wave kind of sounds like an ehorn almost like it's supposed to be programmed to sound the same and never change

[nathantzhang]

I like how the horns are so powerful that they knock themselves over

[therookie]

Good video, Spencer. That K5LLA can have a straight up competition with the RS5T.

[TheMetGuy]

Awesome K5LLA horn, love the K5LA horn too!

[admydragon]

Got to love how foamers position their camcorders RIGHT NEXT to their horns so the audio peaks into the red each time. Love this hobby...

[FDNY]

Egadz BLOW the darn things ... I hate the feathering to get the bells sounding ... Give it the FULL blast that's when the sound the best ... That's the way the K5LA was meant to be blown and heard .... : o) They do sound good though ....

[TobiasMathesonRacing]

if i heard this i woukd never get tired of it

I'm absolutely fascinated with this information lately.
Grew up hearing trains all my life, still hear them daily (but especially nightly as the sound seems to carry better at night!)
It's like music.

And as a music lover and a singer, I've always been able to separate the notes on my head, and hear the harmonies in the train horns....

But recently I discovered there were different models of horns, being the reason they all sound a bit different.

And NOW, I realize, not only the horn, but the operator of it/engineer/whomever is making beautiful music coming through my town daily, that person is ALSO responsible for the variations!

This apparently is an art, just like any sort of music.

Oh! And another such video taught me that there are certain patterns for various crossings and locations and what not-- haven't learned those yet-- but coupled with the type of horn, and the person operating it, that's just another component to the music!

I have five year old and two year old grandsons who are absolutely enamored with all things railroad. I hope we can all learn together to appreciate the train 'whistles', and maybe even learn to identify some of them together! 🚂🎶💖

Totally loud and cool you done an excellent job...some were low in pitch too..Awesome thank you. For your videos and everything you do..

[RealRustyi]

2:34i bet his neighbors are not going to get tired of this horn that sounds like a siren

[LyftedDieSeL_Wv]

This is an old video. But I have k3la and just ordered the k5lla so excited to hear it in person

[easternroutemainlinevideos]

That K5LLA sounds sharp! Also that K5LA at the end sounds impressive @ 4:51

[wevefriends]

I like how you make the sound weird at first like their broken then you just full on blast it.. 😂

[NateCraven]

The K5H was used for the Half-Life 2 Razor train horn

[orionharmon]

I'll say, K5LA horns is one of the Amtrak trains horns 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🚅🚅🚅

[WesternMDRailfan]

I love the K5LLA, wish I could hear it more often
