Well Dave, have I got a treat for you! There is a man by the name of Dana that has built a rig he calls the “Great American Horn Machine”. It has hundreds of ship and train horns, including an 8 octave (I think he said it was 8 octave) chromatically tuned train horn organ made out of Nathan Airchime K series horns that were custom tuned.
