Thank you very much!

I agree with you! They were definitely one of my all time favorites!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you got stopping by!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Welcome in!

Atlas can be a pain, so from what I know of those the trucks have a bottom cover over them that has 4 clips (2 on each side). Gently pry those up just a hint so they life over the clips, if you do it on one side usually you can just take the whole cover off without doing it on the other side. Once that cover is off the truck side frames slide offend you'll see the pickups that are on the axle ends. If you're not in a big hurry about it I'd be happy to make a video on it for you here in the next week or two.

Thank you!!

You're very welcome!

Thank You Very much.

You're welcome!

Hello! Yes, they are. Depending on the locomotive you're working on, there will either be screws in the dcc kit for it or screws already in the frame of the locomotive you can use.

So in UP 844, I'm putting about 6-10 drops in per stack. In the CN diesel, I'm using 10 drops. If you're unsure, start out with 5 drops. Do a quick, sharp blow, then add 2 more and another blow. If it looks too full (you see fluid at the top that won't go down) use the corner of a paper towel or napkin to soak up a little.

What about a 6812 bli one t1 4-8-4

Paragon 4

Start with 6 to 8 drops, make sure to give it a good quick sharp blow inti the stack afterwards to get any air bubbles out. Then if you notice the smoke starting ti get less visible add another 6 or so drops.

I bet that sounds nice!

I agree! It makes a world of difference on your layout!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

No that's actually a different function button. I think it's F20 or F24, one of those two.

Thank you very much! I hope they do too! I'm super impressed with the BLI locomotives in general and the details they put in are amazing!

Thank you! I have clear styrene I custom cut them out from, then thr two newer ones I tinted with some stuff I have! I gotta look up what the name of it is.

JT's Mega Smoke fluid. I think it's a petroleum based liquid. You can look it up from factorydirecthobbies.com

I am with you there! Super nice pieces of equipment!

Those are some great things you do there! I also add metal wheels to some, but not if u don’t rub them that often. I agree though these are definitely my new version of the blue bod kits! Plus I don’t feel bad wearing these verses a more expensive piece of rolling stock.

Yeah I am surprised at how long it does take for the old fluid to get worked out! They have so many good ones too! Had a friend give me the popcorn one that’s pretty good too.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You’re welcome! I agree on that one with you! I’m pretty happy with it so far!

You’re welcome!

Thank you I appreciate your kind words!

Thank you!

It was a good scene for sure!

Yeah I keep noticing stuff too!

It was this last weekend, I heard about it as a last minute thing. There’s an upcoming swap meet in the Hobby Lobby parking lot in April, I think the 16th. But I agree it’s always hard to find any, especially since the Kate Shelley Division isn’t doing it anymore either.

@@joes2fst4umodelrr Where are you find that stuff. You are learning more than me.

Hobby haven told meme when I was there last.

@@joes2fst4umodelrr I haven't been over there in a few months. That's probably why.

Yep they haven’t been advertising it for long.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I need to do more might shots.

Thanks you!

Thank you I appreciate that!

Shameless plug, I have a UA-cam channel too, for model railroading

You’re right they’re dual mode decoders and there are basic sounds that work in DC.

Cool I’ll check it out!

Exactly! EMD had the promissory note from CNW for a batch of these all in the 8100 series of road numbers. Then UP bought them. Crazy part is back in the day of UP’s history they actually borrowed money from the CNW just to keep from going under.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello! I’m using an NCE PowerCab for my layout.

Thank you very much!

Thanks Craig! It really does add good depth! The red elevator is still in service, it loads a couple of grain cars per month for other purposes. The large elevator serves mainly the ethanol plant. ;)

Thank you!

Thank you I appreciate that!

Thank you I appreciate the kind words! I agree with you the plastic is poor quality on them for sure! What railroad would you buy coaches in?

@@joes2fst4umodelrr probably Santa Fe, since most of my passenger locomotives are ATSF.

Ah yeah that’s a good option! I know a couple of the hobby shops in my area have Santa Fe passenger sets for sale.

Hello there! It really depends on what the area is you’re modeling. If it’s a more rocky hilly area it’s pretty typical to see steep rock sides and a river that’s a good distance down from the bridge. If you’re more modeling a more flat area you could carve in maybe a half inch and it would look pretty normal. Most all rivers are not even on the bottom either so let that play in to your own river as you carve, you don’t need to make it perfectly flat. I have two more videos I think you’d find helpful! One is using the Woodland Scenics Realistic Water which will be a great option! Resin is nice but it heats up a lot during its curing process and could melt your foam board a bit. The woodland scenics one I show doesn’t do that. Then there’s a third video I have on using the Woodland Scenics Water Ripple Effects and I think you’d like that too, plus you’ll see how the river looks completed. Let me know if you have more questions I’m happy to help!
