Just saw why it derailed. LOL! The kink on the curve to the switch is so bad. I'd recommend when fixing it, take the curved track off and while the track is still straight solder the joint as it will then give a proper curve transition which will eliminate kinks from forming. plus the solder on that second switch joint is way too thick and should only be placed on the outside of the rails not the inside too.
Hey I hear you on the packaging but I haven’t seen a video yet on a locomotive getting damaged in shipping I’m just saying I might be one but I haven’t seen it yet
I use JTs mega steam. They have a plethora of different scents from oil and coal fired scents for a realistic feel or things like vanilla or cherry for a better smelling layout. They were my first review so check out that video aswell ua-cam.com/video/o1tK08GFKYI/v-deo.html
Look good! Maybe you need a double header for parts of the layout lol

So far the sound is way better and improved since the Paragon 3 sounds.
I would agree. Still going to wait for the lok bli steam decoder adapter but the sound has greatly improved.
I love ESU Loksound so much more though!@@Tigerman7warfighter
Very nice!!

Would there be enough demand for BLI to make models of Southern Pacific’s MT class 4-8-2s?
probably not. Athearn makes them and various brass importers do too. There are plenty to cover demand.
Say, are the lights on because they are baggage/mail cars?
Never really thought about that. Im not sure off hand what exact details were put in them when they were painted and populated
What smoke fluid do you use?
