Yes, you could. However, the more the better IMHO. You will notice that I placed one bar in between each vertical support bar coming down from the upper bar of the rack to the lower bar of the rack.

Ever since I got my train horn set(s) I've wanted to get 4 of the seven trumpets onto the roof. I had all kinds of ideas to do it on the old rack but they were all a PITA. Now with the new rack I can finally make it happen. I'll leave three under the rig and put the loudest four on top of the rig. It will make a Very nice surround sound effect with the horns. I made a plate and rigged it so the retractable antenna lays down between the center to trumpets.

what if you were to mount the horns on the underside of the rack, then you wouldn't have to worry about possibly needing to take them off should you need your full rack? Assuming they'll fit.

That would have been ideal but as you stated, they won't fit.

That sucks. The angle of your photo makes it look like they'd fit, thats why I said it.

Finally received my storage boxes yesterday and installed them last night. These can be removed when I choose to. I like the idea of the extra storage up top.
