Perhaps you’ve been Thunderstruck, Wayne?

Could be, Rich, but it’s still A Long Way To The Top If Ya Wanna Rock & Roll.

The B&O roundhouse where I worked with diesels had a powered ventilation system to remove the fumes. The steam hoods had been removed. They would be useless with the diesels and RDC units that we had then since the exhaust stacks are in the middle of the units.
When the ventilation blowers were running it was very cold and drafty inside, not that it was ever very warm in the winter.

Trainman440, what is the loud knocking sound in your last video? My new BLI 2-8-0 does that. There’s a list of sounds, but I don’t know how to match the names to the sounds because I don’t know what they are. I’d like to isolate the CV for the knocking sound and turn it down. The factory default is apparently “eleven”, really loud.
Thanks,

Yea haha smoke only really works in O or G scale unfortunantly. I dont use smoke in my HO engines unless I have guests over. Even so, people are usually more impressed by its ingenuity rather than its realism. Norm’s 3rd rail o scale layout is absolutely stunning, Id highly recommend you check his videos theyre very entertaining!
I believe that’s the airpump (also called air compressor) sound you’re talking about. I do enjoy it although it can sometimes get annoying. Cheers!
Glad people have enjoyed some of my picks

“Great videos, everyone. The background scenery in them makes the scenes complete ('cept mine, but it’s coming along)”.
It maybe a work in progress, Dan, but that building certainly looks impressive!
“I believe that’s the airpump (also called air compressor) sound you’re talking about.”
You’re right, Charles.
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]
Wow, that was some great information.
Thank you for answering all those questions. I am relieved my information and understanding was not too far off.

Good morning
I like the thread Brent. Great idea! Fun to see the trains running and the hours and hours of beautiful scenery passing by in seconds.
Don’t think for a minute I didn’t hit the pause button quite a few times to take a look around to get some idea’rs.
I’ll bring the popcorn and the fine scotch next time[(-D]

I have not had any decent Scotch in a long time. I have not bought a bottle of the hard stuff in probably 5 years, and finished the last of it over a year ago.
I should restock at some point.

The layout at the hobby store right next to my home.
It’s been there since I was a kid.

Good stuff everyone, thanks.

“Save the neck for me, Clark!”
All good too, Tom, though if I was a brakeman on the garden railroad, I’d be wanting danger money with all that low hanging vegetation!![swg]
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]
Thanks, Tom, love the garden RR, I want one and so do the dogs.[(-D]
Did some coupler testing with a longer train and replaced the couplers on six cars to Kadees. Ran it for over an hour while I was working on the layout without mishap.
So here is, once around, big train, little layout, or, Honey, does this train make my layout look small.[:-^]
