Big Mountains - Fast Trains

[BLKdurangoTRAINhorns]

Yeah man, I like the way the sound efx corresponded with the two trains. Nice stack/auto train. I also like the phz 3 P42 in with the phz 4. Nice clip.

[wesolint]

@BLKdurangoTRAINhorns Thanks for the compliment. The phase 3 Amtrak is actually a P40. It has the small backup viewing window on the rear of the car body.

@Trolleymoose wesolint is right. the TWO ditch lights are on!!!!



[RailwayDemon]

Liked it so much I watched it a second time =]

[wesolint]

@RailwayDemon I like it so much I watch it all the time. Thanks.

[NationalCrafter]

thumbs up if you thought this was this was a big layout.

[methedr]

I sure wish that video lasted a good hour. Nice

[geomodelrailroader]

Nice Video wesolint I see these all the time when UP ships loads from Portland Brooklyn to Proviso

[drigin1234]

That must be one of the best Model railways I have ever seen

[Trolleymoose]

The third car has a flat tire in the front truck.. You can hear it clap-clap. Don't you?

The second engine has a bad horn, and there should be two ditch lights, not one. Otherwise Cool!

[wesolint]

1st - All the sound on this video was dubbed in place from REAL train sounds recorded live at trackside.

2nd - If you're referring to the Amtrak loco leading the passenger train, it has a full compliment of lights including red stop lights. I wired them myself. Take a closer look - the headlight and BOTH ditch lights ARE on!

[MyBobbob12]

Send me the track plans

[wesolint]

It's a modular layout and the set-up gets changed on a regular basis.

[niperwiper]

shiT BLEW MY MIND AT 0:40

[wesolint]

I guess a few people were startled by the Amtrak - just like what I had intended to do! Hence the title word TRAINS (more than one).

[dadikkedude]

sweet

[spcellforever]

WOW! That's one long train :O :)

[Arabellaclover]

That is great! CHOO CHOO!

[prorobo]

How come the Phase V P42 is always playing second fiddle to the Phase 3?

And are the newer Athearn units really that much quieter than my older P42 (which is really loud compared to the real sounds of your Amtrak consist in rdw283's vid)?

[wesolint]

1st - It's got a burnt out ditch light that I haven't got around to fixing so it gets to be the trailing unit until repaired.

2nd - Both my units are fairly noisy. They tend to quiet down after they "warm up" and gain a little speed. The silver one is a blue box and seems to be quieter than the phase V Ready-to-Roll?!?!? Go figure........

[12train1]

i love the layout

[jorgeniscool]

i love thoes locomotives that amtrack and BNSF locomotives/stack train

[wesolint]

I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about my models and vids. ;o)

[TOBiistcool]

wow...

diese amerikanischn züge gefallen mir immer mehr

[wesolint]

Thanks

[indycar101]

Nice timing on your Amtrak & the sound!

[mtrails]

Ah, high speed trains!

[wesolint]

None of that hokey prototype operating around here.

[mtrails]

LOL

[mrlrrconductor]

That MHC looked a little out of date for your amcrash train dude, those didnt have HEP either, LOL

[wesolint]

Geeze, if you look REALLY close, the locomotives don't even have traction motors, the cast on brakes don't work, there's no HO scale real people in the cars, and nobody is running the engines either....................so much for my fantasy.

[cprail34]

that was awesome...that amtrak scared me at first it was unexpecting. lol. nice.

[wesolint]

I was hoping to get the "surprise" effect.

[cprail34]

lol

[theinflator]

Love the sound effects, the timing was great!

[wesolint]

Thanks!

[Jabbajawz4life]

Hey do those autoracks run on 18 radius curves?

[wesolint]

Sorry, the 89' cars recommend 22" radius and the articulated ones recommend 24" radius minimums.

[chatanugadotorg]

On my old layout, I got them to run on 18 inch radius curves, but I had to have the wheels, couplers, etc. tuned just right and smooth track on the curves. Trust me, they look much better on broader curves.

[KamilPKP]

LOL
