G scale model train with sound

[NscaleRR]

Its whistal sounds like 1218.

[PriceTveyron]

Those who "Disliked" this are just jealous of that awesome loco!

[altterrain7]

how do you get so many views?

[keithLD50]

I guess what I'm asking is the speed control for the loco and the control to activate the bells, whistle, ect seperate when using the DC voltage method?

[trainman24]

What ever you use to control the speed of the loco will control sound.

[keithLD50]

Do you have to use the speed dial on the transformer to activate the bells and whistle using the voltage method? Thats what I might have to start with and I cant understand how it would work to activate the whistle and bells whenever you want to.

For example, you had short and long horn blasts, is there a controller that can be connected to the track to do that manually or what?

[trainman24]

If you want to control sound on demand you must use radio control. The voltage method is strictly automatic, when to go slow the bell rings, when you exceed a certain voltage a whistle pattern will blow and to blow whistle again you must drop below that voltage and exceed the limit again. Another method of sound control is DCC, digital signal sent through the track to a decoder/sound system in loco.

[keithLD50]

What controller do you use to control the sounds?

[trainman24]

In this video the only control of sound was done by amount of voltage to track. I now use radio control, AristoCraft Revolution system.

Nice train and just look at the majestic COFFEE TABLE and the lovely background of STAIRS...gotta' backyard? Should've shot this outside buddy.

[LesterDragon]

this is insanely boring

[trainman24]

Glad you didn't like it

[LesterDragon]

Glad I made you glad. The train and sounds are kinda cool but seeing it go around and around and around is really boring.

[McMike321]

N&W hooters are awesome.

[bravosixxx]

That is freakin' AWESOME!

[pcvsxbox360]

[trainman24]

No, Mallet. Common mistake.

[visualbus]

wow, i can't tell that it isn't real

[stacycrabtree]

great, loved it

[kylecornelius12]

thats awesome

[micromachinebob]

awesome train cars!!

[rando4038]

the real 2-8-8-2's whistle really sounded like that, if u ever heard the ns steam excursion of a similar n&w loco, you know what i'm talkin about, kinda sounded like a steam boat whistle

[yourpageitsasheed]

very nice exellent sound¡¡

[billbarman]

I know, Its really nice!

[billbarman]

Can all you asses shut up ? If you sont like trains dont watch it! simple as that.

[VFB1210]

I know! I hate it when people watch stuff they hate just so they can talk shit about it.

Anyway, I like it. For some reason, it sounds like it is only a regular steamer, on a mallet. Eh, it's probably just me. Very cool though!

[thetreeregimovies]

well only 8 cars doesnt make it slow down i wonder whats wrong?

[jroberts227]

I think that this clip is wonderful. A person has to be interested in this type of thing to see the value of it, I guess. Keep them coming. Cheers, Jim R

[Kenshinmoru]

it be a lie for you to say it not boring.

[BartImpson]

Cool. I was expecting a NYC subway but whatever. This isn't like watching paint dry. This is cool. Paint drying takes forever.

[chettpeppa]

that's 1218's whistle!

[Marillionmad]

Is this it no offence mate but this is like watching paint dry

[TrainMad07]

you might not be into trains but we are so if you wana keep saying things like that, say it 2 urself

[ricanboy83]

i understand what hes sayin...the train is goin a lil to slow...its an awesome train...but id like to see how fast it can go.

[hawkwind999]

if you do not like model railways then why are you watching this?? get a life!!

[puckman]

wow, this one is even beter!!! must cost a fortune right?

[nw2017]

This is a great video...I like your camera angle on this one...gives you the feel of standing right at the tracks.
