Christmas train series to document and share our holiday layout at it grows. Today the Polar Express Berkshire arrives with a very exciting paint scheme. It seems the Base 3 may need update because the listed audio commands in the app are completely different that what each one plays, and they often just repeat "this is the north pole".

For the fall York TCA train show I was able to snag a lot more items than our last visit! THis time around I knew more of what to expect, and came with a plan! Side note, still working through some green screen challenges with the new layout table being so close to it. Making progress, but sadly you still see some of these issues as we improve every video.

Since time didn't allow for the 360 camera this year, I went for an aerial overview of the member halls. .

So I am slowly getting them used to cameras being in the halls. The majority of vendors are still uncomfortable with close up fil...

Lionel Vision Line US Army Triplex. Amazing but worst malfunction yet!

Lionel Vision Line Custom Army Dewight D Eisenhower Triplex, by Mr. Muffins Trains. Out of the box I can't understand why the 3rd set of drive gear is not in sync and often spins in the opposite direction. I don't want to come off as a Lionel hater. I'm not! I LOVE the products I get from them. it's just really hard to not call out every quality control issue I receive with the amount of money ...

As you would expect, I was quite chocked to see yet another expencise item fall apart outn of the box. Not only was the car missing screws, the all of the doors on the passenger car are cracked. Both of these items came in seperate boxes. Quite the dissappointment.

    So cool! These layouts are so diverse and superb. They give me some ideas for my layout, which I need to get going on the scenery. It was humorous to see you on that rotating pad, for sure. There are a number of O gauge UA-camrs that feature the Milwaukee Road and Wisconsin, in general. My dad was born and raised in Columbus, WI, in 1912 and was a Badger alum. I haven't been back since I was a little boy. I'll have to make the Pilgrimage next year. An excellent video, as always.

      A couple of things caught my eye. That huge, coal drag and the Burlington Zephyr, that was really moving. I just love fast, streamlined passenger trains, especially the stainless steel streamliners, which look cool running at passenger train speeds. That coal train was impressive, with all of those cars. It is pretty much like the ones that I ran from Conway and Chicago to Toledo. They are some of the smoothest trains to run. It's great to see trains like that on big layouts.

    Thanks for sharing, nicely done. I’m still not happy with Mike Wolf and the debacle he put the company through. Thousands of people bought and supported MTH and for whatever reason he sold off the company to Lionel, Atlas. What was left the employees stepped and bought in on what was left of MTH. They saved the company.

    I still don’t understand Mike Wolf’s deal. He had an o gauge company and he wanted to buy Lionel. I heard he even had Lionel on his mantel in stone. Then he sold his company but still has his company? Does he make and sell O, HO, DCC? It’s good to be focused.

    • @BojPhoto
      @BojPhoto 3 дні тому

      You have that completely backwards. The only reason that DCS can control TMCC is that Lionel published all the commands for TMCC and Legacy as open source from day 1. MTH has always threatened to sue anyone who tried to market devices using DCS. When the Legacy Base first came out, it was hinted at that Lionel reverse engineered the DCS code and was going to include it. They got shutdown by MTH. MTH at one time also claimed that the open source DCC had some infringement issues with a few of their patents. So MTH's closed systems is why until recently you never saw anyone using DCS besides MTH. For several years Dave Hikel was the only person licensed to use DCS on his products. He was designing a control system that never really took off. Recently MTH licensed DCS to Atlas when Atlas bought some licenses to MTH products.

When my DCS fails going back to traditional transformer method that i grew up with in the early 1950's. Still have use of bell / whistle functions on transformer.
