So does it cause your electric bill to soar, or is it pretty easy to manage?

[TommyZTrains]

@MikenomeD Na, easy ... esp. sense I haven't so much as looked at a Train sense March! (me) *In in a "cold spell" rite now with the Hobby. (I'll be back tho :-)

You are trying to cram too much stuff into my head. It's gonna explode! LOL Great upload.

@chiconian49 LOL ... "who me" ??? I haven't "run" Trains sense March of this year ... MTH disgusts me so badly that I'm at a point of no recovery. Calling, arguing, begging ... "pick your word". I feel / (felt) like I was the villain! *I don't want it anymore. TIME TO REST.

WOW...only 2 AIU's Tommy?? LOL....thanks for the informative video, bro.

So, is it safe to say you're using the Lionel bricks to supplement the Z-4000's because they are "wimps" as you say?

I can say that as of now, I can run Legacy and DCS engines at the same time...but don't know how that will be once I had some accessories...lol

[TommyZTrains]

@Broncort1 I'm sure they'll be fine ! :-) *More AIU's are underneath table* "yikes" !! :-)

[TommyZTrains]

@MikenomeD I'd say NO (about board interchange) :-(

@puttrainguy A 'Wolf' in snakes clothing.

I dig the hell out yof yours vids like this Tommy... The match books are cool... Your power station, mini nuke plant there.. lol... Looks really well thought out and tried & true tested... You're right about the power supplies.. I use a big mix for mine, of course on a very smaller scale, but same thought process... I had issues with TMCC having dead spots too... none with the DCS... Oh, really dig the phone at the console.. Another vintage piece my friend !!! Hope all is well man...

@chiconian49 I met "Mike" in person probably a decade ago Chuck.. He's far from " Big"... LOL... A wolf, Yes... LOL...

@TommyZTrains I partly agree with you that Lionel has better sounds. However if you really analyze the chuff of Lionel Steam Locomotives, they do not have the realism of the MTH. I`m running a legacy locomotive as I type this, and frankly it sounds like the sounds are coming from a tin can, and this is true for all my legacy steam locos. As far as other aspects of train sound, Lionel is somewhat superior.

I thank you for your great videos.

@TommyZTrains I blame The Big Bad Wolf, who's first name is 'Mike.'
