Mike you can try to follow the links starting here:

Click through and eventually you'll reach a page where you can listen to various horns (like the Nathan K5LA) and even download the sound file.  Hope this helps!

Thanks for that tip.  I downloaded the Leslie A200 horn blast - perfect!

I intend to apply that sound effect along with spoken text to a circuit with a small speaker to be mounted near Menard's ROCKET DINER (which is a sound-less accessory).  The finished installation would be as per the attachment.  I know, it's a fussy detail, but it was fun to do and even more fun for my great grandkids to activate.

With Appreciation,

Mike, the Leslie A-200 horn at the site Ted posted above is probably what you need to represent an F3.

Ted, this is a great resource!  Thank you for pointing it out.

This is a wonderful resource.   RailPro allows the user to upload any sound.  These would have to be modified to a single blast and saved as .wav files.   RailPro then loops the sound so you get as long or as short a horn blast as you want.

Can you picture this one screaming to a crossing around a curve with the reverb and echo of a nearby mountain?
