I find it quite funny that I just emailed you about doing dcc and sound on a brass greenbrier I just bought, and I just got home from running trains at my club and see you guys running a greenbrier 😂 love your videos!
The fun shows in the enthusiasm of you guys on what for me is the most sensational HO scale train layout on RUclips. Running trains like this doesn't get much better. Well done as always. Cheers from our train club in Adelaide South Australia.
Didn't know whether to call this a "tragedy" or a "Comedy of Errors" 😂😂😂 either way it was as entertaining as Shakespeare! Good job guys...this was fun. Damn cows
Funny, I had one of those bli models, while very beautiful, the decoder died on me within two months. I honestly still prefer my two Key Imports. Very beautiful model that BLI did nonetheless. Hopefully I get some sound into one of my brass ones.
Due to my ethnic background, I'd buy a dead water buffalo if the price was right. I do have three of the late PFM/United versions that are flawless, but this bargain loco is really quite nice, albeit the electronics are in no way in keeping with the quality of this locomotive. Again you get what you pay for. Actually for you brass nuts, i feel the finest brass locos ever done were the four locos done by United from 1978 to 1982.....ATSF 2-10-4, ATSF 4-8-4, C&O Greenbriar, and the UP FEF-1. Close runner-ups would be PSC WM #6 Shay, and NJCB/GOM NP Class A.
Also would be the two runs of Minari C&O Kanawhas...'89 & '90. and PFM D&RGW F-81, both early and late versions. Although there are many really fine Korean models, they cannot hold a candle to the finer Japanese imports as far as inherent quality. Another close were the 5 Rubies by Gem Models imported during the 60's....C&O J2, PRR S2, PRR H-10 (two versions), Reading T-1, and the Big Boy done in 1961 which to many today is the holy grail of brass. Values of the Ruby Big Boy peaked about 10 years ago at close to $10,000. Today, just a mere $6000 if one could be found. Some of the hand-builts which bring quite a bit at auctions are a mystery to me as I do not feel the quality is that good. My last models of note would be all versions of C&O F-17/19's and K-3's and most Max Gray models from the 60's.......mainly the HO Erie K-5 and ATSF counterpart. I'm only speaking of HO as there were many really fine O scale models imported by several good importers. Of note, my once rather fine knowledge of brass is rapidly fading. Being the previous owner of Brasstrains.com, I had a working history with many of what i speak of.
Have fun! and 2. have a fast moving rescue train with a crane ready to go !! It adds alot of fun and realism to operations.
NEVER THE SWITCH'S FROM THE GUY FROM THE TOWER... FANTASIC LAYOUT !!

Yes thanks I wish I could help but finding a local installer is best in case you run into issues
Oh I understand. Thankfully I found one through one of my club members!
Awesome Esso sign, For Touch and Go
I've been a subscriber now for a while on your channel. Just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed your videos especially this one! Awesome train.
Thanks we enjoyed making it and there will be more

Proud to have you guys watching! Please spread the word. The more subscribers the more youtube will push the videos

Thanks man today was a blast!
Awesome video again Al, any chance you’ll take a look or run those heavyweight cars I keep seeing around the layout? They look very well crafted
Looks like fun 👍🏻

I can’t seem to get my energy though the golf . This must be train comedy 🎭

Oh yeah, the division superintendent is going to want answers. I hope that crew didn’t get time off.😊
Lots of drama today.Somebody is in trouble. 😅
check that lead truck on that Greenbrier. I think thats what is causing the derailments.
yikes, something started to jolt the locomotive around the corner at 9:20.
P.s. I hope the crane operator gets paid overtime.
