  • Hey guys!
    I finally got down to the layout after quite a while so I decided to make a switching video.
    Today we have WSOR GP7u 702 on the lead and BN GP20 2002 filling in for WSOR GP7u 701 which is temporarily out of service (It shorted out and I'm pretty sure the Tsunami 2 decoder in it is fried...have to love the hobby...)
    Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
    If you enjoy my weathering, go to my channel and see my weathering videos!
    If you have any questions, let me know!
    Enjoy!

    Really nice! The weathering and detail on the rolling stock is very nice. On the first coupling, the impact sound, was that an audio edit or can dcc do that? Sounds great either way! Thanks for making the video! And one more thing, do you think the club would let you weather the yellow crane in the scrap yard? ;)

    • @TheTrainFan
      @TheTrainFan  3 года назад

      Thank you! I added the coupler effects afterwards in editing but DCC can do its own coupling effects. I appreciate the kind comment!

    Very nice looking layout, I love the weathering, why does the train move so slow? When I was a kid my trains would go much faster, I guess they don't build them as good these days. thanks for sharing

    • @TheTrainFan
      @TheTrainFan  4 года назад +1

      Thank you! The train is moving slow because I try to run them at prototypical speed for their size. Nowadays the motors inside are so fine that they can run very slowly pretty easily. You also need to have clean wheels and tracks. These are also DCC locomotives but that’s a whole other conversation
