A train horn kit that can do it all and look good doing it, the Conductor’s Special has been the go-to train horn kit for years. With enough volume to wake the dead and enough power to handle most pneumatic you can throw at it, the Conductor’s Special is one of our most rounded kits and a solid addition to any vehicle.

Our Conductor’s Special features our legendary XL Train Horns. Hand-tuned to the exact specifications for the US Train Horn Chord and packing just as much power as an authentic train horn, our XL Train Horns are the closest you can get to the real deal without having to spend thousands on a retired locomotive train horn. Constructed from an ultra-durable fiberglass-reinforced ABS composite with stainless-steel diaphragm and backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects, you get a train horn that is not only insanely loud but ridiculously durable as well.

Of course, for horns of this caliber, you need an onboard air system that will keep up. Our Conductor’s Special is one of our most well-rounded kits, with enough air to blast our XL Train Horns for up to 6 seconds, as well as handle most pneumatic applications such as air tools or tire inflation. Our Nightmare edition is powered by Viair’s 444C stealth black compressor, recharging our 2-Gallon 6-Port tank in roughly a minute. With hardware and instructions included, you get everything you need to get back out on the road and honking.

What a joy to watch your boyish excitement at the prospect of blasting select drivers only! 😄

I can't believe You got all that to fit under your front bumper!!! Nice Job. Thanks for sharing...

The camera does not give you justice but your installation seems a work of art ... So much room underneath that area.

[JiSamuAbdur-Rahman]

you executed a beautiful installation! I couldn’t have done it better myself.

Shouldn't the tank drain hole be facing down instead of to the side

[Twowolf]

Where is the detailed install? I only came here to see how to hook up the wiring, relay etc... did I miss a part?

[pinballsteve]

I think the sound will be loud no matter which way it is facing. I would probably want it facing backwards with a slight downward pitch to prevent water and road muck from hitting it directly. Plus with it slightly hanging below the front spoiler it would be easy to see if a cop leans down and looks under it. Nice looking clean install though. Thanks for sharing.

This is about to be the best prank ever

Can I get these instructions on paper? Same application 19’ f150

[tuckswanger]

Looks awesome, thanks for the pictures

Thanks for sharing this information. Very helpful. One question, maybe I'm missing something, but I didn't quite understand the need for the relay. It seems to be doing nothing more than the pressure switch was already doing; breaking the circuit to the compressor to turn it off when tank pressure got too high. Again, maybe I'm missing something. Thanks again for sharing this info.

Hey nice install. I'm like you and get excited over stuff like this. The only problem I would have doing it your way is the intercooler. I'll have to figure something out. You've had it in for almost a year now . Is it still holding up good?

[jefftaylor]

looks to me like your video is spot on could I get the excact wire I need to tie into from horn on my 1992 GMC Sierra 4x4 CK, mY air horn kit is arriving in the next day or two would like to get it installed as you have yours (with either option for sounding off) thanks again for info and great instructions.

Looks nice, I would probably prefer putting switch in overhead console eyeglass holder. LEOs may find under dash if you allow them to look. Switch should cut compressor so they don’t hear it come on.

I know you made this video about 3 years ago. I want a train horn in my trunk. Do you still have a list of all i need to buy to try and do this set up? Also, where did you purchase your train horn?

[jujitsero]

Okay so the grenn and white wire plus the 12v from a diferent one go to the horn right? Can i take the 12v from the battery or have to be one with the ignition?

[nicholausbarrett]

Hi.. I also have a 19 ford f150 that I want to install a train horn on. I would like to use my factory horn. I have the train horn kit. I want to know if I understand your wiring right. You mention that the green/white wire from the horn is a load ground.... So do I need to break 12v to my horn or ground to my horn? I hope you understand my question. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I've been installing a setup on my 2010 Silverado and I also had the idea of running a toggle between stock and train horn, but for the life of me i can not get it to work, Would you be able to provide me some more detail on how you did the splice? every time I try it, or change the wires around... No matter what position the switch is in, The train horn will fire. Almost like the switch is broken.. Hmm, Maybe the switch is broken....? Sometimes you just have to talk about it... Still, Would not mind having some incite into the switch wiring to make sure I am doing it correctly.

Awesome video!
Wanna thank Martin @lesscolectronics
Really appreciate your sent email of the wires and colors for my 04 tundra.
Since I have received my Wolo 850-860 and plan to install this weekend.
Thanks again!
