“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”
Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT
That was fun!! Not sure if it was me or not, but the BLI seemed to be a bit more crisp on the sounds
Fantastic Jimmy. Personally I preferred the sound on the Broadway Limited version. It seemed more authentic and less tinny. The fact that I watched on my phone may have made a difference.
I love the tug-of-war! I know what I want for Christmas. I am always very impressed with Kato quality in all my locomotives.
Hey an easy upgrade I made to mine- i ran a wire back from the tender and added a second speaker near the front to the cab. The stereo sound effect is amazing
Since you have the Kato Big Boy and it's the excursion version you should the the Kato Union Pacific excursion car set and run the whole thing. I'm waiting for the Broadway Limited HO Scale to come out so I can run it and 844 together with an excursion train.
This was a ton of fun. Great video.
Inconclusive or not, that was just FUN!
This was fun! I'm just not that into the Big Boy though. I don't have a connection with too many steam locomotives, and if I do have a connection, I want it to be unique. I'm around the 765 probably a little more than most on this channel, the real thing, but it's really common for people to have it or something like it around here. I like small little 0-6-0 steam engines, like tank engines, but not Thomas.... I've got a GWR pannier tank that I love and a diesel BR Class 04 shunter that I love. The 04 is obviously diesel, but I love that GWR train since it's so unique. These are trains I picked up to mimic a French railroad where it seems like you just can't get something like that since it's so rare and in N scale, since it's meter gauge. There's also the point about having to get cars that that train would actually pull.
Sad to note, my Class 04 shunter is limited to pulling about 6 or 7 cars of small size with 2 axles per car only.
Great video! I have both and agree they are both awesome!
I have done same loco classes with different sound decoders so that they have a bit of a difference. There are many that now have sound equalisation that can make them sound distinctly different.
One with smoke for sure
The one at the back of the train is just like the Big Boy that brought my cousin his freight to Shelbyville, Indiana.
Very cool comparison and test! Crazy how close they are in power/tractive effort. Personally though, I like the broadway limited.
Have three versions of N scale Big Boy, Atlas , Broadway limited, and
Kato all with DCC / sound, some day would like to see a three way comparison between the three models.
Great video and interesting tug O war. I think the Kato has a slight edge in power and sound actually. The smoke generator is cool though, no doubt there. Enjoy!
I think someone has too much time on his hands 🤣. I have to admit that the tug-of-war was interesting and looked like a tie until the hopper broke free.
Beautiful locomotive, the Big Boy!! I’m sorry to say that I can’t model in N-Gauge because my astigmatism makes seeing the joints very difficult!!
The pulling challenge reminds me of Pushmi-Pullyu in the Dr. Dolittle classic. What other literary themed trials await us? 😅
Loved the tug of war. The eight year old in me was also thrilled to see it. I was rubbing my hands in anticipation when you announced what you were going to do. I was interested in how the bodies were both moving around as the wheels were slipping. It really showed that they were both working hard.
In some respects, I prefer the BLI whistle, it seemed to have just that little bit more of bass sound. The one sound that was, again to me, different was the chuff sound. These appeared to be completely different, and I do not know which is closer to the prototype. Perhaps some of your other viewers can advise me?
Need to have a Big Boy dance off
Any damage to the traction tires? They don’t usually like that kind of abuse.
Could set up two lonnnng parallel tracks up an adjustable grade, like on a 2x4 or something and see who can pull the most cars w/o stalling
Fun edit work. Thanks.
That was awesome!!
Great. I like both. I think I trust Kato more but I haven’t had bad luck with BLI either.
Just stick a bit of your favorite incense in the smoke stack. SMOKINNN’ 😎
Could you do a head on collision next please a la Adams Family...please😂
Excellent video Jimmy. I have a question. I've received my Kato Big Boy last week and I absolutely love it but I seem to be have an issue with running it on my layout that has Kato #6 turnouts and a double crossover turnout. For some reason I'm getting frequent derailments. Do you have any idea why I might be having this issue? I don't have this problem with my other locomotives.
EPIC!!!
A regular steam engine has 4 distinct chuffs per revolution of the drive wheels. I would expect 8 chuffs from an engine like the Big Boy. Am I wrong?
I model in HO, but N scale had really stepped up. Taking a lot of effort on my part not to switch. lol
Gonna wear flat spots on them rails! 😱 😜
Excellent video and comparison.
I think that size constraints mean it's impossible to achieve good sound in N. The laws of physics mean no bass so everything sounds tinny.
To my ears DCC sound is borderline acceptable in large H0/OO locos and fine in O and G Scale.
Kato won!
Not really... I test before bli was the most powerful puller
Kudo's to the couplers! I fiigured once you ramped them up you would just rip the coupler knuckles out of that poor little covered hopper.
I actually used a Kato Hopper car for the barrier car because of the thick plastic couplers.
I want those
Me to but i am an H0 modelrailroader so kinda not gonna happen.
Yet…
@@thetrainloverdk same, and I am broke
Ye sadle me to i am also 13 so that kind of does something to
That was great 👍 ☕️
Just eq'd differently
Personally I dont like BLI I had so much trouble with a 4-8-4 I bought it quite running and only smoked a couple of times. I sent it back and the reply was oh you can o only run it on address 3 ,plus it still didn't smoke.called and they said there was nothing more they could do.
Sorry not a fan of BLI
Broadway Limited sounds better.
I SEE BLI T1
👀👀👀
If you put a drive wheel on the bli at the rear driver's and would pull Kato around like skulled mule......Kato had traction wheel on front and rear driver's...while bli only has the traction wheel on the front drivers........I did a review on all three.....bli .... athearn and Kato ....Kato I wasn't impressed with it....only weighs 5.4 oz while bli weights at 8.5 oz and athearn at 7.7 oz ......was only lucky to pull 21 freight cars with the Kato ....at least n scale nats at katos booth theres only only do 20 cars around the track with alot of wheel spin ...draw bar that comes apart and other issues guys where complaining about...Kato was taking notes on these problems...... On sounds ESU is still off on there sounds to 4014...... So is bli......but athearn is spot on with theres with tsunami 2 even the crew talk is for more better then bli crew talk ....even mentioned ED the engineer.....
Good notes. One quick one though. The Kato has a Soundtraxx Tsunami2 in it. It’s a TSU-1100.
Hello
Hello

Not impressed with either smoke or sound. Size of the speaker, no doubt. Not worth the $, IMNSHO.
BLI won
