AirChime KM vs Amtrak

Post by Railgeek »

A little messing about we did earlier this summer. I knew the engineer and he knew we had set up some horns here. He was expecting the usual K3L or other train horn, but little did he know I had arranged my KM ship horns.

Unbelievable! That thumbnail is awesome. Why didn't the 250 or 200 make the cut?

We didn't have the air supply, and my 165, 200, and 250 are on a common manifold that weighs at least 250 lbs.

That's hilarious - wonder if the engineer had to change his clothes afterwards... :lol:

Definitely got to be one of the top horn duels.
