    Gorgeous video, being in the UK I don't see a lot of Lionel and it's the first time I have seen a superbly sceniced layout such as yours. Big fan of th N&W having picked up a couple of Winston Link books years ago. Made it to the museum in Roanoke many years ago on a holiday trip to Virginia, don't think they had seen many Brits come through the door 😂

    Nice work Norm, I have an old
    video of Y's and A's and that
    steam whistle sound is spot on, they had that distinct sound that reverberated off of
    the mountains and valleys in
    NW territory!!! Awesome!!!

    Fantastic video as always Norm! I really appreciate that rather than bashing Lionel for the coupler height being slightly off, you just fixed it and talked about how good it is that they have the mounts in the first place. Great to see actual modeling and someone not afraid to take stuff apart!

    Norm, another awesome video, I think I speak for everyone, we could watch for hours. Purchased a new home in North Carolina, 3000 sq foot finished basement, very few homes with basements in Florida. I can finally build an actual layout. Love the double header. Could you tell me about your 3D printer, or suggest an inexpensive one for a novice to start with. Thanks for sharing your videos, they are awesome!

    Fantastic video Norm. Question...is there a such thing as a flex 3 rail O scale track? I am new to the game so that is why I ask.

    • @normstrains
      @normstrains  10 місяців тому

      Yes - I used a bit of Atlas flex here and there on this layout. Gargraves makes some too.

  • @ChargerusPrime
    @ChargerusPrime 11 місяців тому +1

    I think a kadee 740 would look better. It's all I use on my stuff and they just look SO GOOD especially on intermountain o scale cars and weaver stuff too. Bought some really short shank couplers and I think they'll look great on say a Reading T1 or even on the point if this Y3.

    • @normstrains
      @normstrains  11 місяців тому

      I don’t use them that often. I think the 805s work a little nicer.

    • @ChargerusPrime
      @ChargerusPrime 11 місяців тому +1

      @@normstrains fair enough, honestly I think any kadee couplers work really well. I like the newer ones because they have the spring tucked in so you don't have to worry about em popping out. That was a huge pain back when I was in HO lol. In my humble opinion, I think the newer ones are much more realistic. I just wish someone would come out with magnalock brake lines in O scale like they have in HO. It'd take the realism to a whole new level in 3 rail or most especially 2 rail.

    • @normstrains
      @normstrains  11 місяців тому

      @@ChargerusPrime 805s seem to be a little more forgiving if they don’t get installed perfectly straight. Plus they grab the big ol’ Lionel couplers if they have to.

    • @ChargerusPrime
      @ChargerusPrime 11 місяців тому

      @@normstrains that's definitely true, I have a spare pair of 805s that I saved for a later date. I might end up using them for that purpose, but my hope is to have an in-between car with a 3 rail lobster claw at one end and a kadee at the other. That way I can run my engines and cars with other stuff at train shows with my club.

    Norm when you kadee the coupler do you loose the electro coupler aspect to open and close automatically?

    • @normstrains
      @normstrains  11 місяців тому +1

      Yes but I hardly miss the feature honestly. I built my layout to have all switching activities within easy reach.
