What a beautiful little model. It and the pacific in your banner are really striking.
Update: took one home about a week ago. It's absolutely astounding.
Please include part numbers of item used and source. Also what liquid flux are you using? This info would help a newbie.
Do you have all that Japanese rolling stock because you're using a Japanese prototype loco? 😊
My confusion becomes, why not just buy a loco with DCC and Sound? By the time you buy the Kato and the sound/dcc unit/speaker, you are spending close to our more than maybe a BLI, or Bachmann, or similar. I guess it's a loco not offered in other brands? Any insight helpful. Pretty new at all this. In love with DCC /Sound already though. Hard to go back to boring old dc. ;) PS: I think you forgot to add smoke. LOLZ.
It depends. Many locomotives built today usually come DCC ready, which means they can take a decoder that fits their socket. DCC Sound isn't usually offered on many locomotives as it tends to drive up the price of locomotives, so some manufactures will build the DCC Sound decoders separate, but also for certain types of locomotives. DCC onboard locomotives are mozealess the midway point for both. But for locomotives like the Kato N scale Japanese locomotives, they aren't built for DCC, but because you have a DCC layout, it makes more sense to just hardwire a decoder in. Also with Broadway and Bachmann, they make decoders in house so they can sell their loco's for a premium. The good news though is that with third-party companies, you can have Sound decoders programmed with specific sounds that are for that locomotive. In the club I'm apart of, most of the locomotives with Sound use a third-party decoder with those sounds programmed in.
@@kiwiwarrior3012 Good info! Thank you. I ran my two new Bachmann dcc's together for first time. One steam, on diesel. It is so addictive! Now, I need more lolz. This is just so much more fun with dcc. Beyond me how this hobby isn't more popular! Much better than video games and the internet!
very nice
It’s a shame you didn’t have a light maybe a better camera as nothing was really visible that you were doing
Yes, I agree better lighting and a better camera would help.
Thanks for this informative video. Can I know if I can buy this Loksound v5 Mikado online?
It's been a while, but I think you can buy it through one of the online retailers. I believe I bought mine from Tony's Train Exchange. They might still have it, but I don't know for sure.
thanks dude.
