I have been looking to buy a new set. up til now I have had pre war and post war stuff only. I have been looking at a few new sets. here are the ones I’ve been looking at
1 MTH Bantam N&W J pass. set
2 MTH Bantam Daylight set
3 MTH 2-8-0 Penn. pass set
4 Lionel Penn super freight set (cheapest Railsound set)
5 older MTH U.P. 49er pass set with 4 passenger cars (in the running due to $400.00 price tag)
6 MTH penn 6-8-6 turbine set (older but new in box)
7 Lionel NYC pass add on pack (to be pulled with my old 221)
ok, I’m open to new Ideas if you have any. I have been trying to keep in the $300.00 range and most of these can be had for around that.
I really want either Railsounds or Proto sounds 2.0. here are a few questions.
I know people say Railsounds is a bit better than Proto 2.0 but lets discuss Train sounds, proto 1, Loco sounds, etc.
someone said loco sounds kinda suck and train sounds are less than great, how is proto 1 aside from the battery issue?
does it do the synchronous chuff/smoke thing? I ask because the UP 49er is proto 1.
does anyone have the turbine? how is it? I kinda like the puffing and chuffing sounds does it just hiss and blow smoke? does anyone have the Rail King 2-8-0? it looks kinda homely in the photos, how does it look in real
