- In this video I took another trip to Colorado from May 17-20th, 2024. The purpose of this trip was to participate in two photo charters hosted by Dak Dillon Photography on the Durango and Silverton as well as the Colorado Railroad Museum. This video covers the D&S Charter, featuring K-36 Mikado #480, pulling a Maintenance of Way consist of ballast hoppers, flatcars loaded with sections of rail, a ballast gondola, a few passenger cars, and a caboose. I hope you enjoy watching this interesting consist make its way up the Animas River Canyon as much as I did.
A great video 😃👍
@@Ken-Kaef Always love your content Ken. Thank you.
@@modelrailroadoperations2023 Thanks Adam, It is nice to have feed back. You may just be able to help me. I use Lenz DCC with tethered throttles which use 5 pin DIN plugs in the layout fascia. Over the years they have become unreliable. I need to replace them. You did an operations video at the La Mesa club. From another You-tube it looks like they use DB15 plugs on their NCE tethered throttles. Am I correct in thinking that? It looks like they work well. I e-mailed them off their website but have not heard back as yet.
Cheers Ken
@@Ken-Kaef yes Ken, La Mesa uses NCE tethered throttles for their layout, however they need to modify them to be more robust for the constant plugging in and taking out of the connections. My recommendation is NCE radio throttles for a home layout like yours. It’s what I use on the SCR and you’d be surprised with their range and performance.
@@modelrailroadoperations2023 G'day Adam, Thanks for replying. I agree about radio throttles and did look into getting CVP (Easy DCC) radio throttles to use with the Lenz but decided it was too expensive for me then and now my modelling budget has shrunk even more. At the club I use WiThrottle on an old iPhone and love it. I will e-mail Eric Smith from the OPSIG and see if he can put me onto someone from La Mesa. You will see the plugs I am talking about at the 2 minute point in this you-tube ua-cam.com/video/DQcJYCY-w4I/v-deo.htmlsi=KV8eIKg9iBWrJbRq
Cheers Ken
