Does the cheap controller may cause damage to the loco?

Hey I'm glad my Flying Scotsman and J50 made it into the video! Thanks for showcasing our groups layout!

I enjoyed your tutorial video my friend. May God bless you and be with you always🙏

Do you think 28mm DND minis would scale good with OO Gauge?

After convering to DCC how do you program the eng

Those look incredible! Even the faces are spot on! And I loved the intro, Thomas may be my number one (pun definitely intended), but Gordon has some of the best quotes in my opinion. "Oh, the indignity..." is one of my all-time favorites.

Great info!🎉❤

That takes a lot of dedication and money. Those Marklin models aren’t cheap.

Memories 💙

The reason you have 00/HO is because of the claring difference between the height and width of the rolling stock which neccessitated the english stock being made at 1: 76 instead of the 1:87 of european stock thus both models appear to be the same size relative to each other

Your videos are fantastic!

It’s a monster. When I saw it come round that first bend it looked like something from Dune. An S&M dungeon on wheels.

I love it that train sets are an international brotherhood, surpassing culture at large and integrating the clan of train nerd brethren. All hail brothers and sisters of the track, hail ye locomotivists.

This video was very helpful to me. I’ve been trying to convert my old custom-painted Milwaukee Road SW1200 to dcc, and this video helped me do it.

Thank you for this! I really want to get into model trains and want an easy good set for my first one ever. I will get the set but replace the controller asap.

Watched this video twice. Very nice home layout. Scenery is well executed and not crowded. Makes for pleasant viewing. I note this video is now 2 years old and bet the layout is even better. I found that after spending a life trying to make large layouts I have found happiness with my two lap around the wall layout with staging. Its simple to maintain and each improvement is a joy. Mine ,in HO, is in a garden shed that I blessed with insulation and air conditioning . I live in the south so I have no heating. Sky backdrop on all four walls. Scenery. Fun to run . I like your work and your video. I have clips but that's all so far. Thank you. Algorithm just gave me this video. Thank you again.

How steep of a grade is your layout? It looks a bit steeper but seems to work fine! I really like your layout I'm looking for ideas for my own plan.

A co-worker of mine told me that during a visit to the UK he met someone who had done a full Cajon Pass setup as their model railway. Knowing that I’m surprised USA stuff isn’t available in OO scale for the UK folks.

CAN YOU ADD SOUND? IF SO, HOW?

I don't care... I run N scale 😁

Thanks for your work in documenting this spectacular place! I recently visited the MPM myself for the first time, and like you, I'm interested in helping to document it before it's gone. I spent five full days in there taking photos of every panel of every exhibit (including the accompanying text) and I'm working on getting them organized into what will hopefully be a permanent virtual archive of the museum once it's gone. (Don't think i'm allowed to post links in youtube comments, but it's on flickr) Anyway, I wanted to reach out because unfortunately, I arrived too late to capture some of the museum's most iconic exhibits, which have already been removed. I was wondering if you'd be willing to let me use a screenshot from your video to fill in one of the gaps in what I was able to capture? In particular, I am referring to the wall of Navajo rugs seen at 37:25 in your video. Haven't been able to find any other images of that online. But with your permission I would like to add it to the "Southwestern" album and of course I will give you appropriate credit!

I like both Ho and OO train sets, and they are the same with the tracks.

Don't forget that the Lionel OO Gauge Hudson runs on 19mm gauge tracks and is not compatiable with HO 16.5mm gauge tracks. The only track systems it will run on is the 19mm bakelite roadbed original, gargraves OO gauge track, or On3 gauge track.

I didn't go to Mad City this year, but now I wish I did. I went there a couple of years ago. Just didn't have the money this year, hopefully I see them next time I go. When I have gauge 1 replicas, I'd love to display them at shows as well.

I'll admit they're cool I haven't got to see Edward running around but they are tiny compared to any g scale engine

I got to see them! It was cool!

2:45 At least more accurate to Seasons 6-7 and the HiT era. The other Thomas model has a more Season 5 shade of blue.

that flying scotsman just looks stunning...bet you smile every time you see it, those carriages are so good. if only I had the space.

I’ll eventually have a collection like that for a garden. Beautiful models!

I think these two A4s will come again to Britain as part of another celebration of mallard

Your layout looks brilliant, with only a short glimpse! Could we see more? Just found your layout, and very nice it is too!

Good job, Andy! I like the music, too. It was good to see you at the show and looking forward to more videos and seeing you at the shows. God Bless!

Looks Like A Great Train Show.

Nice Layout.

That’s a really great creation you made for your camera! I love the perspective it gives, like you are tiny too! (Love the Schlitz boxcar! I always loved the advertising on boxcars.) I really like that the camera setup gives an increased sense of speed too! Well done!👍

I Remember that Lionel Layout in Menominee.

Love that Engine Does That Come In Another Line?

UPDATE. As of April 2024, I made styrene housings for the headlights to replace the plain electrical tape ones shown in the video for engine 407.

3M makes an "industrial" double backed tape that works very well; it comes on a roll with red backer.

british locomotives really were so small they had to make them big

Can oo, on30 and ho run on the same track and same controller?

Wonderful video! Glad you enjoyed the show! It really was a fun time!

I'm glad to see you enjoyed the show. It brings me no end of joy to see my Lego rolling stock brighten the days of those who saw them. Looks like you were particularly fond of my Big Boy.

I’m Sorry To Say but For the Mad City Train Show I think It should Go Fri-Sun. It’s That Big.

I Missed This Show One Day I will Make That Show.

The humming is not interference. It is the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) that the controller uses to control the motor in the train. Basically the same method a digital decoder uses to control the motor. The controller is better than the previous pure analogue controllers. You do not get any humming from the Bachmann controller, because it is pure analogue. I agree, there are better controllers out there, both PWM controllers and analog controllers.

Is the track that smooth or does that camera have a steadi-cam type feature?

Z scale always seems to be running too fast! Lol! Thank you again for sharing your experience

Those ALCO 855s are unique but so ugly! 😂 a face only a mother could love!

I really enjoyed your video. The comment about the "Fancy locomotive pulling busses."😅😅😅 i like to have died! 😅😅😅 May God bless you for sharing this experience!
