Either way it seems like too much pressure.

Where is it a federal crime to own? 
I have a three bell Leslie looks just like these.
They use more AIR than a semi truck can make regularly.

I wouldn't even think of putting them on a Jeep, they're HUGE and use to much air.
I have a friend that worked for the RR and I mentioned I wanted a set and I was out of town and the wife said they showed up on the porch one day.

I planned to put them on the Autocar.

I said most are stolen, and stolen ones are a felony... all I said. Went to work one morning and we went to moving some to do PM's on em and 10 were missing chimes. The guy tried to sell them on ebay (when ebay was new), and was arrested and charged with numerous felonies.

Alright, cause I know a bit about paintball equipment(airsmithing was a hobby), not much about train horns. If you have a crossfire, dye, or stako you can take a shim out of the regulator, usually boosts the output to about 950psi.

You think? Buying stuff just for the "Cool" factor never pays off. Think more than five minutes into the future before blowing money on stupid crap. I've wasted money on silly things in my youth, so learn from this and keep the cash in your pocket.
