Awesome update and that is a really creative use of the mp3 board! Completely agree with your point on the sound cars, the clank of the wheels while running is boring, your approach with more realistic sounds definitely makes a run session more enjoyable.
Very nice video Audamus, I love the sounds of the locomotives and the ambient sounds of the switch tower etc. This was an awesome video, so keep your videos coming.
I love this, i’m going to add ambiance to my layout by putting sounds of wheels clattering, farm animal sounds, birds chirping and station noise because i think a layout without ambiant sound just takes you out of the emersion, i want to imagine i’m a passenger on my layout riding in the sleeper or dining coaches feeling the train swaying as it goes down the tracks or climbing in to the cab of a steam engine as an engineer smillling burning coal asthe engine hisses and vents steam like it’s alive and the chuffing as the engine starts moving and feeling the strength of the engine as it works to pull its train to its destination,, not the sound of electric motors and gears
This is awesome Johnny! U definitely have one of the most unique and beautiful layouts around, just goes to prove the best things sometimes come in small packages
Johnny, your layout is simply gorgeous! You are a master of your craft! Your backdrop, lighting, weathering, and storytelling are simply amazing. The addition of the new realistic sounds takes it all up another notch! I love the tower sounds the most! Thanks for sharing your talents with us! Happy New Year! -Ricky
Congratulations dear Sir if there was an award for excellence in presentation of a model railway layout you would have just earned it! I believe that a full video of your layout with all of the clips like you had offered is definitely in order! On a side note while I know that you are basing your current model railroad layout off of the West Coast in the 1940s and 50s back in the earlier days of your channel did you have any Amtrak or conrail stuff? I haven't really watched your channel for all that long
Thank you for the kind words! I had Amtrak stuff on preorder years ago but ended up. Cancelling/selling it. The most modern stuff I have currently is Santa Fe FP45s and GP38-2s. Might do a video showcasing those eventually.
Awesome stuff Johnny. Ive installed some of the other boards Gun runner John offers, but haven't messed with the universal sound modules. Looks interesting. I think i can find a use for them on my layout as well.... Thanks happy new years
You should really watch the video about Broadway limited they have a great sound system called rolling thunder when the train gets closer towards the speaker gets louder
I've got a buddy who has Rolling Thunder on his HO layout. Really impressive stuff and def bring as extra level of sound immersion when running trains. I know SoundTraxx has SurroundTraxxs but I don't think a system like that or Rolling Thunder can be incorporated into a 3 Rail Layout at this time. Cool stuff tho!

Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing!!
Dude that’s pretty cool. I love the weathering on ur engines. Coupled with the sounds everything feel so real

Awesome video! That Weaver 49er is something else! I grew up in SoCal, so those station announcements all sound familiar!

Woah! Not what I was expecting, but awesome update. The way you filmed the sounds is spot on. And not to mention fantastic lighting as always!
Oh wow, this is great. Layout is great, sounds are great, trains and cars are great too. Nice job.
Another great video Johnny!
Happy New Year!
Exceptional - Thank You!!! Jim
WOW! Great video
Awesome layout. I really like all the levels of detail you have on the layout. The sound boards at the station and switch tower are pretty awesome.
Nice production. Nice weathering on your locomotives.
Great stuff man!! You’re giving me ideas… 😊
Amazing video as always Johhny !
Stunning video Johnny, you continue to lead the way in modeling! Can't wait to see what the new year holds dude! 👍
Great to see another video, layout is looking good
Nothing else to say other than stellar work as always my friend!
Thanks for doing an update, enjoy your videos. Like the Western Roads you have, but you need to add some WP.
WP is actually the next railroad I will be diving into, I miss my WP GP7 and have been wanting to buy another one!
Happy New Year, This Is Amazing.
Fantastic video, Johnny!!
Thank you!!
Great video. Beautiful layout
Happy new year Johnny

Cool video and channel just subscribed. I did my layout with mp3 players to play ambient port sounds.
Nice video!

Do you have an AC-9? if not, would you get one if you could?
Not yet, but I'd like to find a 3rd Rail Brass model later down the line
where have you been??
In hiding creating greatness😉
