Beings I am a baby boomer and model trains were more popular "back then", I just love your video! Have always loved model trains. Had a very simple train when I was a kid. Great fun! Great video!
When you have 2 trains on one track, how do you control one train but not the other? Is there like a different controller for each train? Please help!
Hi It's called Digital Command Control or DCC for short.
Using this system
The track power is not changed however according to the digital signal it recieves form the control it will change the actualy voltage to the motor of that ONE TRAIN
Real nice video! i am not into passanger service at all but your Amtrack is real nice. I bet that was not cheap to put together. I swear I keep buying 5 and six car sets of BNSF coal Porters, but the train seems to get longer and longer and my wallet smaller and smaller. I started out two months ago to just collect engines now i am over 20 feet out on the layout and into the empting wallet syndrom! Eveytime I think im satisfied with the coal train. I need six more cars! and two more locos on it.
wow thats awesome, I just saw Amtrak 134 through Radnor along the mainline outside Philadelphia leading the Pennsylvanian. I have video of it on my channel, great layout though!
Great video!!! Can you tell me more about the defect detector? Where can I find one at? will it actually count the axles on the train and sense things wrong?
The layout looks nothing like that now. It was under initial construction when this video was made. There are more recent videos showing the layout today.
"Hot box" detectors can sense if a train has a hot axle, which is usually caused by a dragging brag. If it sees a hot axle, it lets the train crew know about it.
Cool layout, can't wait to see it finished. I haven't done any secerny on my layout either. Don't those box cars go in the rear of the train though, and I'm guessing the Superliner cars must be jammed packed with luggage with no baggage car, LOL. Still a cool vid, (And if you wan't the detecter to be real, the Amtrak axle count is usally 44).
who cares where they should be, its his tables, we can and anyone can tun anythign how we want, fuck you your probly a atlas guy who counts rivets, its our hobby but wwe dont have to be an exact how run our train guyhow about a gp9 with a sd45t-2?
You need to get your ditch lights fixed on that P42. Also, the BNSF 5612 is an AC4400CW that is not actually in that paint scheme. Athearn just cheaped out and stuck the new logo on AC44s rather than making a new mould for ES44s.
okay it´s not good

yait100 3 years ago
Too bad the previous trainsets weren't as
technologically advanced as the one shown
in the video. The synthesized milepost detection system would have been nice for
the layout that I had in the seventies.
The remark about the sausage adds a little
flavor. (No pun intended)

Good catch on the AC4400CW. At first I thought it might be the (accurate) Tower 55 model, but it's not.
