- Here's a little video I put together of my 1951 Nathan round base M5 taking a spin on the Big South Fork Scenic Railway.
For more information on the Big South Fork Scenic Railway, please visit www.bsfsry.com/.
Over 10 years later this video still does the horn justice.
My favorite train horn, the magical and musical M5.
Agreed :)
This is the BEST horn show I've ever heard. Shows off the beauty of the M5, not just blasting it all at once.
A horn that would shush a crowd
I can't stop playing this video...hands down one of the BEST sounding M5s out there!!!
I totally agree 👍
DAMN that M5 sounds perfect
That's Swanson's Hard Work achieved.
Agreed!! :)
Jesus Christ this has to be the BEST horn I've EVER heard. Would love to buy one.
Best Nathan M5 I've heard
Same.
I love how this horn's tuning sounds exactly like that of an RS-5T (but with that M-series sound) when given only partial air pressure, and slides into that M-5 chord when given full air pressure.
I agree!
Cool video. I visit that railroad also.
A lotta horn for a little train. Love the M5
*FAINTS* I cannot describe how amazing this horn is!!! My god, I WILL look into purchasing a horn like this, this is a spectacular sounding horn. Thank you for this great video! Even the diesel looked great too!
GOD that horn is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus christ, that's one hell of an M5! This is why it's my favourite horn, I love this thing, I hope it is still on it today.
Your local Baltimore Railfan. I think a private collector owns it and had it on for the day. I do the same thing on a railroad I work at.

What is that railroad, just curious?
Your local Baltimore Railfan. It’s in Stearns, Kentucky. It’s the Big South Fork Scenic Railway
You got that right! The echoes in the hills seem to bring the horn to life. I've got several videos posted that were recorded on Padre Island, TX. The horns sound ok, but are very bland without the echoes. The constant wind out on the coast doesn't help the recordings much either.
That is one GORGOUS M5 just music!!!!!
I shall have this horn on my car...along with a K5HLL!! Ahhh, this is a sound I would love to hear in heaven....along with a mile long HO scale layout!! :D
This gives me the chills
That is SWEET!
Dude that's got to be the tastiest sounding m5 I've ever heard! Very ominous sounding in the distance
excellent sounding M5!
These horns seem so impractical yet so beautiful.
The M5 takes some beating but of course its always in the ear of the beholder.. LOL.. This certainly is a lovely recording..
Damm, I love that echo!
Wow this is so amazing!!! Reminds me so dearly of the Western Pacific!!!
How can anyone claim the RS5T is the king of horns when this video clearly demonstrates that its not even close?
K20017 Andy West has a Leslie rs5t-rro from 1979 that is really good sounding and competes with this Nathan m5.
The RS5T is king because it growls and likes to show who’s boss. The M5 sings very beautifully.
you are all wrong, the Nathan K3HA when properly tuned and as loud as it can be, shows who is boss.
@@devernepersonal3636 wheeze
Everyone has their own opinion as to which one is best. All the serious competitors sound great. Any older horns sound better than the latest ones to me honestly

The M5 is one of my favorite horns. This is amazing!
the first time the horn blew, I thought I was listening to a steam whistle!
Beautiful horn, sounds like a deep steam whistle!
It has a very jazzy kind of sound to it.
I totally agree!!! M5 is the kings but this one has such a musical and smooth sounds one of the best if ever heard!
My favorite horn by far
That M5 is beautiful.Love the sound of it!!!
Awesome! The M-5 is my favourite diesel horn!
Me too
That echoing is great! Very nice horn!
This is godly
@sgtfhrn This horn is one of the BEST sounding horns I'v ever heard! I almost passed out behind the computer! I just hope I can get my hand on this particular model. hopefully someone out there has one for sale.
Man that is one fine horn
3:12 This is arguably the best part, at least in my opinion.
With the wear it had inside I'm sure it faithfully served the railroad for quite a while before being retired. Sometime after being retired from service it ended up in a barn where it sat for many years. Thanks for the comment!
@trainandhawksfan17 Old-cast P5s and properly tuned M5s are designed to sound the same chord, so they would sound similar!
They are two of my favorite horns for that reason!
you've got that right for sure! Best horn out there...
That sounds so awesome
0:30
@mike9889 Thanks! Although, I'm probably a bit biased, I believe this to be one of the better sounding M5s out there. Glad you enjoyed the video!
No doubt one of your favorite air horns right? I sure like it!
Absolute chills. This is the best M5 I’ve ever heard
Ya gotta just LOVE the M5 with it's mellow sound and pitch change at full air flow... NICE!
I love this M5 horn
Pretty BIG BOSS horn for a little switcher 🤣
@dgblairjr42 I'm not positive what RR it came from, but it appears to have an ACL inspired paint scheme. Not sure if it was painted that way by the RR or if it was done by a collector as it was found in a barn in FL where it had been sitting for many years. Your guess is as good as mine. Thanks for the comment!
@SierraRailway Absolutely one of my favorites! Glad you enjoy it as well. Thanks for the comment.
Awesome!! Love the M5!!
CottonBeltSD40T Your account is such Irony, your name is CottonbeltSD40T, yet you have a picture of what looks to be a NS SD40-2, which is on the complete opposite coast, lol, please don't take offense.
I actually have that kind of horn on most of my model diesel locomotives. It sounds great on every one of them.
Not for sale that I know of, but they are available to rent by the night. Search for Barthell Mining Camp for more information.
This proves me theory that old Cast Horns sound better than the new ones
That switcher is undeserving of having such a great horn.
An Alco PA would be way better imo. NKP PA's had them in fact.
Imo it would definitely fit on an F7A
CN would surely hate this horn!
Why?
Love it!!
Yes, a beautiful horn! However. I'll bet that many or all of the non-railfan riders think that its merely annoying noise.
It will be nice that they'll still making the Nathan M5 Horns for trains!
Airchime- Micro precision still offers the M-3 and M-5 if ya got lots of $$$$$$$
@@cawalshx2 So they didn’t destroy the molds for them. Great to know!
@@ArturoRailProductions Just looked on Airchime site, NO MORE LISTING for M series.
MMMM LOVE IT
Man thats a damn beautiful horn. i wish i had that on my truck
Awsome horn!
@MultiHornguy Reminds me both of the original WP California Zephyr and of a WP GP20!!
Now, just imagine trying to get a lye in on a Sunday morning with that thing blowing its piece off....nah nah nah.... beautiful sound though........xx to you all
It actually amazes me just how liberal the Americans are with the whistle. Here in Australia, as a new engine man I was taught to use the horn sparingly.
My names nathan and I can confirm this is what I sound like [=
Just doesn't sound the same in the flatlands like here in Ohio. Only when they are blown in the hills do you get the full depth of the horn.
Did any passengers become deaf?
danwat1234 he faced the horn all bells forward, facing away from the train, but I suppose there is still a probability!
6:39 let it rip
Rs5t:i am the king
M5:whos laughing now
C# E F# A C#
i want that house! is it for sale?
Sounds a lot like a K5LLA.
Nice horn..but too much wind noise..
Is that a GMD SW1200RS (Pup)?
Ex western pacific.
perhaps
Sounds similar to trainz simulator
I'm just wondering what kinda valve the loco has ?
Lineage of this horn
