A very thorough explanation of the Setting tab. Thank you. It does seem (in V7.01.9) that the alert part of the menu has disappeared. The alert on curve too tight is permanently on (not a bad thing) but the alert on flex too long is also useful despite your saying you don't use it. It is handy when using the File > Info > List of materials to know that if you are ordering track, you are ordering enough.

Beautiful clean site Thanks for the tour ! CBS Engineering really did a nice job.

I love the kitchenette, iam curious as to what sort if amplifier is being used, and what kind of transistors/mosfetts/ tubes are amplifying the RF signal?.

Fascinating tour! What a difference between my truly amateur setup and your professional setup. -KC8SGJ

Hi from SF ❤!!!

Cleanest site I've seen. Well done.

Really appreciate you sharing your wisdom in using this CAD program, especially because I have zero experience.

Fun work.love the idea of digital am..and all the bells whistles about radio engineering

Shame you couldn't get the mic a bit closer. Great video though.

Ok, va bene per il disegno ma realmente con il binario come si fa'?

Great video, very informative and thorough. I imagine most large market radio stations have redundant systems for everything. The KCBS transmitter station is clean, almost like computer data center other transmitter facilities look like laboratories or mechanics shops. I found it funny when you said something to the effect "the 50,000 watt transmitter doesn't just have one big transistor" I imagined a 4 foot x 3 foot x 2 foot TO220 transistor package with a big heat sink stuck in the transmitter cabinet!!! I noticed you mentioned something about diesel generator backup, how often is the diesel fuel changed? Untreated diesel fuel degrades after about 1 month, while diesel fuel treated with stabilizers and biocide can last up to a year. How well is the KCBS transmitter protected against EMP damage? Some radio stations have an EMP proof FEMA emergency transmitter with diesel tank and diesel generator (I think the diesel generator is also completely enclosed in an EMP proof shelter) Though once again the diesel fuel will have to be replaced on a regular basis. You know how food goes bad, gets all rotty....well diesel fuel and even gasoline goes bad, gets rotty as well.

Dear Steam Powered Radio, congratulations for all the videos! I'm trying to learn how to use AnyRail well and your Channel is a great resource. I love American railways, but being Italian I lack some information; I hope you can help me with this data that I'm missing: 1. For a double track main line, in H0, what is the correct distance between the centerlines? I think 2" (5.08 cm.) if I examine the Walthers and Peco double crossovers. 2. Generally, what is the width of a platform in a station and what is the recommended centerline for the too tracks at its sides? I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have some doubts... Thank you so much, see you soon!

This is the cleanest transmitter facility I've seen in 77 years. Nice documentary and I salute you for your great work! (from a former FM DJ and TV camera operator and USN Tradevman [1965-69]).

I don’t have logic behind why, other than a) I want easements, and b) I want to save space, but I decided that the total angle of the entry and exit easements should be about 1/3 of the total angle of the curve. Not sure how it’ll run, but it makes sense in my head.

The sad reality is that the computer designed to figure out what the question was was accidentally destroyed when the hyperspace bypass was put in.

First I want to thank you for doing these videos Because the manual is not user friendly. I was placing my track on my new layout. I have a around the room three track main with 2 dble crossovers. and the added some turnouts to start stubs for yards. When I came back the next day to do more work all the track had changed from basic clear to red and I can't figure it out.

Do a video using marklin C track.

I didn't know such a high-powered xmitter could be solid state. I wonder when those started to come in?

Hi Dave!! I agree with @derekalexander4030, I've been looking for you. lol. Sorry you've had a rough go of things but completely understand how life gets very busy for all of us sometimes in so many ways. As Derek said, Hoping you're doing well and we'll be looking forward to your productions when you have time to get to them. You're videos have been a MASSIVE help to all of us and give us hope and inspiration as we navigate through anyrail!! Best wishes for ALL you do!!!! Paul

What type of ground plane is required for an antenna system like this?

Did your muse die?

Dave, thanks for the tour. I've always been confused when KCBS promotes HD1. How can a AM, or KCBS FM, station broadcast a digital signal and have it be received by standard analog radios? I thought HD1 was marketing hype. That difference was clear to me when we converted from ch5 analog to ch29 digital. But I'm still not clear with "digital radio.' PS: did you ever make part II ?

Great video Dave!

Great tour. Beautiful, well maintained and organized facility. And finally… “More power to the shields!”… phasor or phaser notwithstanding.

One of the cleanest setups I've ever seen!

Keep the humor rolling!

Although I don't understand much of what's going on in there, I'm fascinated by it all and more so since I recently discovered the antenna array for KBRT in the hills of Orange County while hiking some popular trails and that got me started learning more about these installations. Thanks for creating this tour!

Loving the humorous commentaries!😂

Can’t find 3b in your library…thanks, Mike.

I have been struggling with Anyrails for quite a while till I discovered your set of tutorials, and you have demystified the difficulties I was having. Thanks for a great set of tutorials

59+20😂all day

Is the radio powered by steam engine?

Sorry, maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see part 2 of this video little over 2 years later. Can you please show me where?

Its been said before, but I just discovered this, excellent explanation. I recently purchased the package and have gone through the first 4 video's. I would like to darken my grid but from what I've seen, I just need to adjust the terminal I'm working at. Right?

In Video 5 at about 6:15 you disconnect and shorten the left sloping track segment. I can't see where/how you performed the "disconnect" before moving the end. To simulate the same action I need to highlight, right click and select "disconnect" from the drop-down. Thanks, PHIL (love the videos so far!)

Where's Part 2?

But there is no coffee in that kitchen. Where's the coffee? How on earth do you survive without it? There must be coffee. It's an essential item. 😋

I just realized that you are the Bob Ross of Anyrail “The Joy of Track Planning”

Damn, you’re always a step ahead of me, lol. In the last video I asked if you could tell us how big your railroad room was and if you could share your ideas for a track plan and I click on this video and it’s your layout and room. This was another great tutorial video. Thank you for getting back into it.

Beautiful country ruined by wind turbines.

That was really beautiful and you had some great angles. I really enjoyed the trains running at the two different levels.

I believe that Angle in the Tolerance group is how many degrees off of the same center axis the joining piece is from the existing piece. Too large a setting could cause attachment to another piece close by. Just thinking out loud from common sence.

WOW!!!

Sorry I didn't catch your name my friend, but Thank you very much for a most absorbing station tour. Also, I caught your "Way Back" machine joke earlier. Loved it Mr. Peabody! Actually, I'm just bearly old enough to remember that cartoon, but I got it! Loved the explanation about the"Common Point" in the "Phasor" cabinet. Take care... Jeff

Thanks for taking the time to show us around Dave. Great video!

Good day Dave. I like your show so I would like to know more about how I can follow yor video step by step to do my layout HO Scale. I am from SAUDI ARABIA. Thank you for your support to my request.

I have found your tutorials via AI Chat! Your videos and explanations are brillint. I have struggled with AnyRail, trying to figure it out myself. This is soo useful! Thank you very much for taking the time to produce these tutorials.

This is so interesting, especially switching patterns. How is the atmospheric condition considered for the switch...simple time of day or something else? Thanks for the tour, I wish the other sites had been included. I knew Dave McElhatton and his family off the air and still remember hearing him on KCBS as a kid. What a great guy he was.

Vinny, it looks great, 3D printing has opened up to us modellers items that are not cost-friendly for the to manufacture. Cheers

Do you remember the make/model of the 3 phase power monitor you had installed out there? Looks like a handy item.
