    I love the fact that you just run at scale speed, no jumping up and down on the whistle!!!! And let folks enjoy the view of your work!!!! Excellent!!!

    I thoroughly enjoy watching all your videos. Not only in how you demonstrate very clearly how you do rebuilds of your locomotives including improving the sound but also your amazing weathering skills of your locomotives and rolling stock and your attention to detail in your layout and its buildings. And your filming is excellent. So much to learn from you. Thank you. Greetings from the Train Lord in South Australia a member of a train club set up in an old railway station.

    I have a very strange complement to pay to you on both your layout and your cinematography skills. I'm watching your latest video and am thoroughly taken aback by the level of detail and incredible realism of what I'm watching. So, I think to myself, this must be some video game SIM with a 3 rail option because I have never seen a layout with this level of realism before. It can't be possible. So I look back through your library and find lionel power, etc. So, finally the compliment. Bravo sir! This is the finest 3 rail layout I have ever seen, barre none. I am impressed, amazed and inspired. Thank you for sharing this with me and the world!

    I noticed a "Gorre and Daphetid" boxcar in this video! On another note, the quality of your track work is amazing: rust, fish plates and bolts. Perfect.

    I completely forgot about this class locomotive on the Pennsy until seeing this video this morning.
    Great job on it. Looks and sounds amazing!

    What an extraordinary layout! The level of detailing is most remarkable, so much so that the "third rail ", which you claim is there, is hardly noticeable! Amazing ! The videography is also very well done, lending a highly realistic aura to the whole scene. Thanks for sharing these amazing videos!

  • @jakekreutzer
    @jakekreutzer Год назад +1

    Have you ever thought about making some tutorial videos on track, scenery, buildings, etc? Your attention to detail is hands down the best I’ve ever seen in O scale. Would love to learn how you did it all! Great video, as always!!

    The 60 members of the N1s 2-10-2 are one of the least remembered classes, and quite underrated. They might not have been as powerful or as strong as the I1s/a, but they had the distinction of being the only PRR design that didn’t have a member built by Juniata. Also they were the first class of large power to be retired.

    @markmatias2407 6 лет назад +2

    How did you keep a steady electrical connection between the set so the lights/sounds wont cut out? Did you simply add more connections? Its seriously so smooth throughout the whole ride.
    I know the trains you use are costly, but does it help to have more of an expensive train?

    • @normstrains
      @normstrains  6 лет назад +2

      Greg France thanks. The layout is L shaped, 29X36’. No website, just occasionally post on OGR. Layout was featured last year in OGR run 301 (October/November 2018) and in TM Books’ 3 Rail Scale video that came out around the same time.

    It's my understanding 3rd Rail locomotives don't run too well "out o the box" and need a lot of work to get them to where they should be. I see the smoke unit is turned off. 3rd Rail has incredible detail, but the internals aren't great. I had one 3rd Rail locomotive years ago and wasn't happy with it at all. 3rd Rail made a beautiful D&H Challenger if you can find one, but I don't know what it would take to get it to run right.

    • @normstrains
      @normstrains  6 лет назад

      g bridgman most of the 3rd Rail stuff I buy has minor cosmetic challenges and/or outdated electronics. They run much nicer than most other makes due to better gear ratios. Sorry to hear you had troubles. I made a comment about smoke earlier, sometimes I will run smoke for videos, but try to do it sparingly as it wreaks havoc on my weathering. A lot of my engines don’t even have smoke units.

      DjsOgaugeTrains did I ever put one up? I had some clips on OGR a few years ago. Always wanted to make a RUclips of it. It did a few run-bys in the new TM vid.

      @DjsOgaugeTrains 6 лет назад

      Norm Charbonneau oh yeah it was probably something I saw on the forum. I just bought a T1 with a ERR upgrade & 4 chuffs, I’m excited to get it and was trying to find yours. I believe it was pulling a mail/ express consist. If you can get to it I’m sure a bunch of us would love to see it.

      Sent my 1st post too soon, what I mean't to say was if you had authentic smoke in these scenes, they could pass for the real thing! Extraordinary attention to detail!
