You have quite the line-up of motive power, very impressive indeed. I really like what you've done here with the layout & sound. It's very impressive to say the least & one Hell of a layout to keep with, lol. It gives me many ideas & inspiration for my own layout.
Yes, please take care of your health as we definitely need it to have fun in this amazing hobby. I too have many medical issues which forced an early retirement & some days these trains are the only thing that keeps me going.
Thank you! That's the last time I made a video. I think I'm running out of time. I have to take care of myself first so that I'm able to take care of my girl. I have to walk to keep control of my weight. Sometimes it's an issue as my body isn't responsive when I walk. Say here's a tip---Check out the "OMRON" pedometer. When you get home you plug it into your computer and see exactly how far you walked, how many miles, fat burned and other data of interest.
Is this the Foreground I or II? I use both PBL & DCC, I made a switchbox to select what system is in control, but I have to make sure that a PBL loc is not in a DCC selected block, or it will damage the speaker. Both systems have their advantages. PBL=simplicity, DCC=more features. Nice layout!
Thanks fellas, I hope to put up more in the near future as I'm trying to decide if I should scrap this type of control and go for the SOUNDTRAXX DSP-80 system which will surface later. The sound here is a.c. through the rails and the on board speakers have two capacitors to isolate the sound. Not sure if I can deal with DCC control. I have 88 active loco's so it's a big decision on my part.
Wow!!! You keep telling me you aren't tech savvy, then you bust out this professional quality video? You really put a lot of time and effort into this one. I really like your panning of the shots and the nice transitions. Also, you made sure to have a great backdrop in all the shots. I rate this one a thumbs up. Good job.
Nice work! especially the tasteful use of the horn.

Yes this is PBL's Foreground #1. Check out my other video about sound on my layout.

Yes, there are some 88 active engines. To go DCC is going to be expensive.
