Default Carrier horns

When in service during the 1950's the carriers we used had no horns.

Hard to imagine how useful a horn could be. Hearing anything over the sound of a moving carrier would be difficult

I have had to use mine at certain events. If the exhaust system is right, you won't hear the flathead running from outside the vehicle so it is just the track noise. If running on loose ground, even that is fairly quiet. An occasional short "toot" is required to warn slow movers whom you are approaching from behind.

You've never been known for short 'toots', Rob. The horn on your carrier is another matter.
