I love the train station. How much did the platforms cost?

[v12aston]

@atlfinests84 Thanks! Each platform kit comes with two platforms, and those kits cost around $35. So, in total I've spent around $70 on my platforms.

do cab cars( in real life) have traction motors?

[v12aston]

@sawman3333 No, they are unpowered. They simply house a control stand like the one in the powered locomotive so the train can be used in push/pull operations.

well the layout is really nice and so are the models. The only thing I noticed was that both sound locos have the same sound chip in them and the horn is not a K5 that blows, it sounds more like an RS3 Leslie. I wish they made DCC sound decoders with the exact sound of the loco you are using... other then that, the video and everything in it was really nice. I have had Walthers Amfleet cars up until I saw this video. The Bachmans are much better. Thanks buddy...

@BLKdurangoTRAINhorns Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, I have also noticed that the horn sounds aren't completely accurate. I wish they would customize the chips a little more, but I am still satisfied with them.

@v12aston oh. thanks. be looking for my sd70ace review.

[BLKdurangoTRAINhorns]

@v12aston yeah if you don't have any, you have to get yourself a couple MTH 70ACe. The sound realism on them is amazing.
