K3LA train horns

I figured since I am installing the air seats I might as well dig deep and install a set of horns. After scouring the 'net for quite a while I am still empty handed. I have a compressor (200psi) and two 5 gallon tanks ordered. Anybody know of a supply house that carries the Nathan horns and the Graham white valves.
Thanks in advance

You think the Grover's will sound the same (close) as the K3LA's?

big truck chrome shops have train horns for less money than mentioned and you truly do not want to be next to them when they are used unexpectedly they use a 1/2" airline to flow the air and most guys just use a regular ball valve but they offer a valve to go with them. www.atwchrome.com and type in train horn

I have been dowloading clips of different train whistles along with some grover horns. If I had the room I'd put a set of K5 or early P5 horns on. The late P5's sound lame. I have settled on a set of sand cast K3s. Now I just gotta find a set. I will probably get a new set from air chime.
