looks like fun

I get mine right that's for sure, but my horn acts up on me if I blow it too much. I probably need to replace it.

Nobody really gets it down right, though. Everyone's always too early, never holding that last blast over the crossing.

Eh, let 'em complain. :D

[AODProds]

Well, I refer to them as subdivisions, but most people refer to them as routes or lines. On the small scales, there isn't really any rules regarding horn signals, so we generally use whatever signal we want, but I prefer to use the proper crossing signal that full size railroads use, but now days I don't really use the horn that often. Inevitably, somebody would complain if I blew a Nathan AirChime K-5LA LOL!

There's actually a subdivision?!

Haha, fail at the crossing sequence.

Nice video. One of these days, we shall have to trick out the outfit with a K5LA, yes?
