I keep learning new things all the time!! Thanks!
Great Sound love the Alco’s. Vedio is great. As always keep up the good work.

thank you for the video.
It’s a treat for an old switchman like me to see someone imitating the proper horn signals as well as burning time for air checks, etc. when switching or building up a train. Not many operators I’ve observed do these things, but instead just hurry to get the cars moved, spotted -often in the wrong place- and go onto the next movement as if they were in a time race to get back to the yard and tie up ahead of everyone else. Thanks for showing how it’s properly done…and of course, the Alco sounds are great to hear again too.
Andy! Good information! Really sounds like you know what you’re talking about.
By the way, AWESOME shirt you had on in that piece, GO RAIDERS!!!
Thanks Andy, we’re learning more all the time

Nice stuff
I run my room size layout and switching more than once a week, but I don’t bother with sound.

Excellent domonstration of proper signalling and reference to more information in his December article. I also took note of the realistic weathering on the freight cars that inspires me to revisit my own models. I would love to see more videos on signalling including demos on track side signals and how they are used in real life vs. working signals model railroad layouts. Thank you.
Very impressive… Sounds very real and think sound really helps model railroading tremendously… Thanks for the demo.

I always like to see sound locomotives in action. That is a great switching yard. Is it part of the MR&T? I also like your shirt. Nice to see another Oakland Raider fan.
Very informational. Good job Andy. Looking forward to the December artical.
As someone who is still learning sound DCC, this was VERY helpful and practical. Now…let’s get coupler crashes, brake squeals and barking dogs in here, too (kidding on that last one). These video clips are luring more folks to risk going to DCC sound even in a small space. Thanks, Andy.
I expect to be “playing along” with Andy next week after I get my Micro Tsunami 539 non-turbo decoder installed in my Atlas HH-660 (that I bought before Atlas announced their sound version). Sound really does add a new dimention of realism to our trains. However, I don’t plan to install sound in all my locomotives so that the “stars” of my layout will really stand out.
Beautiful, the actions, the effects, straight on target. Seeing that video without Andy it would be hard to distinguish between a real train and a model. Again great job.
Very interesting stuff I have very limited space and this type of system would add a big bunch of reality to my plain looking and no sound layout, Thanks Andy

What is the tool that Andy used to disconnect the cars. Is there a tool for disconnecting N scale MTL cars?
love these vids guys, keep up the good work.
VERY INFORMATIVE PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION OF HORN
AND BELL USE
Another informative and enjoyable video. Well done.
Looking forward to your article in Dec MRR
