Hear these horns now!

Want the loudest blast and want it fast? We paired our absolutely loudest train horns with our fastest-filling onboard air system and the result will blow you away! With our Nathan AirChime K5HA 540 Train Horn Kit, you a get massive, authentic train horn, 5 gallons of air and a lighting-fast compressor, what more could you ask for in a train horn kit?

There is no mistaking the raw power and beauty of the iconic Nathan AirChime K5HA Train Horns. They are, hands-down, the loudest train horns you can buy. Made with die-cast aluminum and stainless steel diaphragms, Nathan Airchime Train Horns were built to withstand decades of abuse from the elements and have been the train horn of choice for many US Locomotives since the ’70s. The K5HA Train Horns, in particular, are sought after for their T-shaped manifold and are rarer than their straight-manifold counterpart, the K5LA.

Massive train horns such as the Nathan AirChime K5HA require an onboard air system that can hold it’s own. Our HornAir 540 Onboard Air System does that and then some! It includes Viair’s fastest-filling compressor to date, the Viair 400C Air Compressor. If the 5 seconds of continuous blast time that our 5-gallon tank provides isn't enough to get your point across, our Nathan AirChime K5HA 540 Train Horn Kit can recharge from 110 to 150 PSI in only about a minute and a half! As with all of our kits, our Nathan AirChime K5HA 540 Train Horn Kit is a complete kit with all hardware and instructions included.

Best train horn equipment ever made!

Not only did I buy one full kit, I also bought a second horn. It is by far the loudest, most bad ass horn I have ever had or heard. I’ve had three other train horn kids, and none of them come close to the Nathan K5. I was blown away, very literally the first time I heard it. If you are looking for the loudest most bad ass train horn available this is definitely the one to get. If you would like to see my videos on the train horns, look me up on YouTube at Tyler Faix for multiple videos.
