Great video and ops session. Well done on the passenger and mail express switching. Very nice touch. You also have a great looking layout. I model HO scale but will be building a traveling N scale switch layout/ module.
Thank you Joseph. It was very interesting when researching how mail, newspapers, magazines and the like were shipped from the east to west coast all those years ago….John
I love your layout John, my friend you need envy no one when it comes to modelling skills the layout it top notch and fantastic running sessions too. It's a pleasure to watch trains in operation on your layout my friend
Hi Dave, Thanks for watching. I initially used some of the less expensive Digitrax sound decoders in a lot of my engines. The Soundtraxx Tsunami2 KN-1 kits fit the Kato E, F, and PA units. I plan to convert over to the KN-1s in those engines over a period of time. I have several engines already converted but the decoder is not cheap so the conversion process has to be budgeted…..John
Hi John, Thanks for your comments. One of the switchers is a BLI and the other is a Bachmann. I prefer momentum to be off in my consists. Some of the steam engines that I have still have momentum in them but none of the diesels…..John
Hi, All of my track and turnouts are Peco code 80 except for two Peco code 55 3-way turnouts and two Atlas code 80 crossings. I like Peco turnouts because you can flip them by hand and they lock in place. I had a lot of turnouts from my previous layout but when I needed more I would buy them from the Hobby Shop with the best price…..John

Thanks for your kind words and your interest in N scale modeling….John
You have an awesome railroad John, they were not hesitations but a short pause to admire the train. Have a nice week.
Hey Rob, Thank you for all of your comments. Passenger cars can be troublesome at times but I do enjoy that kind of switching…..John
Love seeing the long train. Very cool ops session, John. 😎👍🏼

love that ATSF switcher tandem! I enjoyed the ops. say- do you have your decoders set to almost no momentum? curious about that. nice vid John :)
