- Recently got a second Proto 2000 HO Life Like 2-8-8-2, this time a USRA steam locomotive lettered for Clinchfield with QSI sound. Doubleheaded it with my PRR Pennsylvania HH1 which has custom ESU Loksound V5. Enjoy!
Heavy duty!
indeed! A lot of wheels @_@
Sharp!!
thanks andy! been a long time fan, love your layout :)
@@trainman440 thank you!! I need to keep getting my punch list done, goal is have all the simple things done by December. Big fan of the work you do on your engines.
@@AndyKonTrains Haha I'll be watching your progress 👀 And thanks, it means a lot. Hoping to post some more project style videos soon...Ive been working on a ton of stuff but havent really felt the desire to record any of it lately...been mostly posting projects on my instagram as you know :)
@@trainman440 I’m big with IG too it’s easy to just post pics. You tube you need content to talk about.
Very nice, I adore the Clinchfield one!
Does your Y3 still have the original drawbar? Been looking to find a replacement one for mine.
thanks! The Clinchefield wont be here to stay unfortunately. Both have their original drawbars. Itll be hard to find a replacement for them. The downside with plastic drawbars :/ If I were you id try to rig up a standard metal pin and loop drawbar for the engine and tender, cause im not sure if ull ever find a replacement. Good luck!
or maybe check shapeways, im sure someones 3d printed one before!
Did you speed match those, or just get lucky?
theyre made by the same manufac, so they should be pretty close. But they do have different decoders (PRR HH1 has loksound5, USRA has QSI). So I was pretty lucky :) I put the faster one behind, so it would take most of the weight from the cars to slow it down.
how did you get Lionel legacy crew sounds in them?
theyre custom sounds I added :) spent a dozen hours recording and clipping them.
How good are these Y3’s? Are they worth it? I might get one then a pcm Y6b for N&W power for my roster.
theyre great! a bit light (like all proto steam cause its all plastic) but fantastic smooth and silent runners, very detailed (more than BLI), and fragile. just like all proto steam. Fantastic for the price, given I paid $150 and $80 for my two. IF I modeled N&W I would DEFINITELY be more interested in getting a proto Y3a than a BLI Y6b. Good luck!
expect a review video soon :)
@@trainman440 thanks. I might get one of each the 3 and 6b and have the heavier 6b up front and the 3 either behind it or shoving. I have plenty of coal hoppers and so does one of the clubs I’m in. Thank you for the info!
