Thanks for watching! And thanks for your comment! The bass is a Roscoe Classic with a PJ pickup arrangement and Precision style body. I guess I’m one of the few who prefer the P-Bass body style to the J-Bass body style. The bass has a preamp but it can also operate in passive mode. I was using passive mode in the video. And the audio was ambient, filmed with my iPhone. Thanks for letting me know you liked the video and found it helpful! Keepin’ it low, Bassically Doug

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Jock is big softy. He has a great personality.

Mark Litvinsky that car was made by MTH.

Easy to assemble

goooooood

I gave up on using the expensive map upgrade. It was wasted money. Lowrance was no help. The just made the excuse that the processor can’t keep up. I will never buy Lowrance again. I left Humminbird for Lowrance and then Humminbird jumped ahead of Lowrance.

I’m just not doing these comments. The project took about 4 months to complete. Of course it’s never really complete. It was a family project. My son built the table and helped wire it. My daughter made the roads and the trailer park. I made the pop-out lake. Thanks for watching.

Chris's O Scale, my 0-8-0 switcher is Protosound 2.0. I didn't mention that in the description. It is the only PS2 I have. There are three basic differences between it and my PS3 locomotives, as far as I can tell. This one uses a battery, instead of capacitors, to retain settings. It also has no crossing whistle option - only FWD and REV whistles. Maybe the PS2 board doesn't have enough memory to store that sound loop. This one also has no figurines inside the cab, so I added those from a Woodland Scenics kit. My son-in-law had the idea to use flat black paint to paint small wooden blocks from Hobby Lobby and glue them in the cab with hot glue for seats. I then glued the engineer and fireman into their respective seats. I do like the WiFi option. It also provided the perfect opportunity to re-purpose an old Android tablet. My grandson knows how to use the DCS remote very well, but we both think the WiFi app looks cool, and would be easier for a young child to use. You can just drag your finger across to speed dial of the app to change speed. You can access any sound loop on demand. The earlier version of the app cost $5. It did not support lash-ups. The updated version costs $20 and includes lash-ups. You must also update the TIU and DCS remote firmware to support the new app.

Hey Thanks Doug for getting back to me I was wondering why the whistle sounded different then the one I have it's that high pitch whistle I thought it was because it may have been more like the prototype Southern had. They do make a capacitor that plugs into the battery plug that does away with the battery. I have a I PAD I was gonna use I already down loaded the app just haven't bought the wi-fi unit yet I also go the proto sound sight to upgrade the TIU&Remote when a new update comes out Thanks Again Doug.

Hi Chris! Thanks for the tip about the battery. I think the whistle on mine might be prototypical. The remote just doesn't show the otion for a crossing whistle, like my others do.

It was a fun show. It was especially great at Christmas time.

I’m a big fan of the Southern Railway. My dream set was the Southern Crescent. I was so happy to find this used set at a great price. Thanks for watching!

I wanted this set for soooo long. Southern is my favorite railway and the Crescent Limited is my favorite of all Southern locomotives. I never got to see a Ps-4 in person, but I do remember seeing F3 A units pulling freight around my home town.

Thank you! The layout was a family project. We packed much into an 8x8 ft. layout.

Thanks so much Chris!

Thank you very much! I really like your SR logo.

Southern is my favorite as well. The F3 set failed as soon as I powered up. Terrible soldering job in China. There is no quality assurance performed at the factory. The soldering of the smoke motor was such a bog blob that it shorted the terminals to the case of the motor. This smoked the PS3 board. It took a long time to get the engine repaired. One of the wheels was also installed crooked on the axle, so the locomotive wobbled along the track. Given the price of these engines, there should be some quality assurance.

It’s a fun engine. I like the paint scheme.

Thanks so much! Steam is my favorite.

I did but Lowrance said the processu is just not fast enough to work with the enhanced map.

The layout is 8x8 feet. The outside curves are 48 and the insides are 36. I designed the layout using the AnyRail software.

I ended up being a third manufacturer defect in the F3 set. Wires in the cab were rubbing against the flywheel of the motor in a turn. I reseated the wires and it’s all good now. More issues related to the lack of QA at MTH.

I think he bought it from TrainZ.

They are lit by LED.

Thank you! I’m just now seeing these comments. I used the AnyRail software to design the layout. It provides a part list for your design. You can buy exactly what you need to lay the track as you designed it. Everything for perfectly on the 8x8 ft. space.
