[USofMilitaryPower94]

What type of cars do you use?

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@USofMilitaryPower94 I don´t understand your question. You can see all the car types in this video.

[USofMilitaryPower94]

@GeileSexyZeiten What I mean is, who manufacturers the freight cars?

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@USofMilitaryPower94 The cars are manufactured by Märklin, Bachmann and Life Like, but actually you can read this information in the description of the video. ;-)

[KartKing4ever]

The lionel version of this costs more than $1000. Is this H-O?

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@KartKing4ever Yes, it´s HO scale. This Märklin Big Boy was about 600 to 700 €.

[burnley5960]

@GeileSexyZeiten Id rather build a real model of an English loco from a kit for that price

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@burnley5960 well, that Big Boy was a gift anyway, so I didn´t have to pay it! :-)

[GenOrder7]

How wide are your curves?

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@GenOrder7 My curves are 18 inch. But my Big Boy can even pass through 14 inch curves without any problems (on my old small layout).

nice job !! keep up the good work !

A very nice train. Is the smoke from seuthe?

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@02081912Frabas Yes, it is (All Märklin locos smoke with Seuthe)! Too bad I didn´t put a lil bit more smoke fluid in it, the loco steams so well!

Beautiful Locomotive. The chuff rate should be 4 times per revolution. I have the MTH Yellowstone and with DCS and you can select from 1 to 16 for the rate.

[matt478911]

The chuff works just fine and it's a beautiful engine. Carpet RR's aren't meant to be over the top authentic anyway, just fun. Very nice.

[hilaryhollywood18]

thats cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GeileSexyZeiten]

Thanks.

No, I will not have to adjust the chuff rate, since the chuff rate in this loco cannot be adjusted. It´s not a DCC loco, and this sound is the sound that Märklin delivered the engine with in 2003. It´s not the correct sound for a Big Boy, but for me it´s ok.

[adfgfds]

Very nice :-)

But it looks like you're going to have to adjust your chuff rate. Its not timed with the drivers.
