I agree that sometimes the things in this world may seem bad, yet you have positive energy and that is what is important. Let us all keep our heads up and our ears to the ground as strange as that sounds. I thank you for your video.
I bought the rechargeable Magnifying Glasses on Amazon in 2023. They are amazing as they have the LED light in them, 4-5 different lenses to change out, and changing to 2 levels of LED light, High or Low, and being rechargeable is awesome. I can't live without them. Great video once again. Look forward to all your videos on your layout. Stay safe, and tell Bertie the Cat, I think it is, Hello :)
Hi David , good to see you and I hope you’re doing well. Sorry to hear about your knee injury and hope you’re getting better. Good update we all have to do those type things to keep everything moving. It’s summer here and it’s been hot and humid. Thanks for sharing .Have a good week. 😎😎 👍
Nice update, David and Bertie!!! Good to see you again. I hope your knee is doing well. Great update on your tinkering projects! Be well and see you next time!
Good to see you getting the trains running better. The first thing I noticed getting older was eye sight going too. And I leave my glasses all over the place. Go into a spec savers and buy the ropes that go onto your glasses. I don't lose them as often now.
Great update Dave, was great catching up with you at the convention, it was a great weekend of nerding🤓 With that U50, Kato make low-profile wheel sets which should fit, may help with the c55 track, I've fitted them in various non Kato units and it really makes a difference.
Great update Dave, was great to actually meeting you at the convention, it definitely was a great weekend of Aussie N scale nerding 🤓 With the U50, you may need to change the wheel sets, Kato make low profile ones that fit most older locos, I've changed old Life-Like ones and it makes all the difference on c55.
G'day mate. You know we've got a feral cat problem here in Aus and here you are making one to run around your tracks. I'm still collecting bits and pieces for a layout and I just like taking the time to see what other blokes are doing so as to minimise the amount of mistake's that I'm sure I will make. I reckon I might even pick a couple of ideas but alter them from what you've done. I will be doing all Australian.
Keep up the good work on the layout. I think your U-50 is actually a Con-Cor model from the 1970's not Kato. Noisy but with decent tractive effort, who needs a sound system. The prototype was basically two U25's melded together in a move to counter the DD-40 that EMD built for the 100th anniversary of the transcontinental line.
Get busy dude😀😀Love Gons and Cabooses but not a big fan of grain trains. Thats an impressive amount of NS locos. I was able to install 4 more almost drop in decoders in some older loco's but need help on three where the decoders had no wires. Looked on you tube but not finding the information I need. Wool hat, cold in the train room?
When We Tinkering On Our Layouts Were Different in Our Ways. For Me Working on the Wall Around The Layout Then Finishing The Track Plan Finally.then We Hit the Trainshows.
@@nessriverrailroad1299 Hi David, thanks for the info. We’re moving and finally getting a dedicated space for my train layout in the basement and it’s a bit bigger than that. Just trying to get ideas for the next one (or keep the existing and modify). Might even go HO if I can make it work. Thanks again. - Steve
@CajonSub sounds great. I feel to go HO with what I like to run I’d never have a room big enough. Basements under houses aren’t very common in Australia.
@@nessriverrailroad1299 David, I feel the same way. Would love to do it but limited depending on the available space. But getting older, HO is more manageable (and they have better details). - Steve

Great update David! Those magnifiers look awesome, will definitely track down a set!
Thanks Dave!!! Great video!!!! Greetings from Somerset UK!

Always good to hear from you 😊 !
Loving the CN power. I think I’ve mentioned that before.😊 Got to get a pair of those magnify glasses. Save me from squinting all the time..

Thanks mate, it was great to meet in person. I’ll take a look at the a Kato site for wheels.
Just awesome David..... good to see you bud.
Love your videos! I still haven't been able to start my build, so it is great for me to see what others are up to.
Great update David, lot's of nice new things you picked up.

Thanks for the info. It’s a cool thing either way.
Dave, looking good. Love the new additions. Glad all is well and you’re healed up from the fractured knee. Thanks for sharing. Ken
Great update video. Enjoyed it and subscribed!
Thanks.
Nice video🚂🛤️👍.
Greetings Gert
Can you give me a link to your glasses magnifier and the online auction site you mentioned. Keep up the good work. Cheers from WA.
thank you

I wish I could buy an N scale in Ecuador
What is the cats name?❤
The taxes on any import is at least double
@Vman7757 for some reason your comment won’t come up. What Kato wheels did you use on the U50?
Oh No! Catzilla Is Still On The Loose! Lol.
Nice update David, some nice additions to the roster. What is the size of your layout room again? - Steve
Hi Steve, my room is approximately 7m x 3m with a bit missing where the stairs come up.
