KATO N-Scale GE-ES44C4 - TCS K1D4 DCC Decoder Install
Hi there railfans.
Today something different.
This is a short video on how to install a TCS K1D4 DCC decoder into a Kato N Scale GE ES44C4 engine.
This is the first video for me of this type so let me know what you think I can improve on. I already found out I need a less shiny work surface to reduce glare. Any more points are appreciated. By the way, this video is the first take no cuts.
Bonus points for anyone that recognizes where my accent is from, shouldn't be too difficult...
Thanks for watching and have an awesome rest of your day.

Amtrak and SunRail at Orange City & DeBary FL
Просмотров 222День назад
Hi there railfans. Welcome to another beautiful day in sunny Florida. Today you will see a mix of Amtrak and SunRail trains. The first one I almost missed. I was on my way to position myself to catch the Amtrak Silver Star Southbound and almost at location the SunRail P310 showed up. I needed an extra 20 seconds or so to be in place but it actually gave a nice picture with the green foreground....

Hi there railfans. Today there are 5 trains passing by. First up are the auto racks. I always like to see what carriers the auto racks are from. Do the rail operators share the auto racks because they are always a mix and match from all operators. Who knows the facts here... Pay attention to the third car from the end. This Ozzy person must have bought some white spray cans in bulk... 3472 GE E...
Awesome trains through Folkston, GA
Просмотров 15621 день назад
Hi there railfans. Today you will see 5 trains come through Folkston. Folkston is a pretty good place to watch trains although there are some quiet times throughout the day. For me it is the first and fourth trains that stand out. The first is the Herzog ballast train and the fourth with a long nose leading and a nice little GP trailing. The first one is a work train, it's the Herzog ballast tr...

Hi there railfans. In this video it's all SunRail and Amtrak associated with DeLand, FL. The first three trains you will see are shot pin the edge of Orange City and Blue Spring State Park where the trains pass on their way to/from DeLand station just a few minutes from this location. The next two trains are actually at DeLand station with one departure and one arrival. The station is pretty ni...
Side POV on Metra 109 "Union Station - Schiller Park"

Hi there railfans. Something different today. I received a request to do a side view ride at some point so here it is. The ride is from just outside Union Station, on the METX 109, right after the conductor came by to check the tickets. Final stop is Schiller Park Station on the NCS Line. Let me know what you think, or if it's worth making more videos like this. Enjoy the ride, thanks for watch...
Glen Ellyn train action and a caboose
Просмотров 318Месяц назад
Hi there railfans. Todays video is all about the trains that come through Glen Ellyn IL. Most trains are the Metra trains on the UP-W Line but since this is a UP track you also have a fair share of UP freight trains. Most of the Metra trains I filmed that day are not in the video since they're all the same. There are a few coming by though just to add them to the experience. The second train in...
