Got my NYC C-Liner AB set in from Empire Northern models yesterday. Spent the day today putting sound in the B unit. A unit to follow. As soon as I got it I took it from the box put two DH163’s in and turned on the track and BAM! Blew out the 3mm Amber headlight. Oops[:I]forgot to put in the resister. While I had it apart I noticed I had plenty of room for a 5MM. So I put in a 5mm white led. As you can see from the Vid it can double as a flashlight. I am very impressed with this loco. I was a little iffy about the P1K line. Most of my loco’s are P2K. My first 1000 line. This loco crawled out of the box with my DT-400 on 1. Very impressive. The big surprise was when I took them apart to put in the decoders. Man I could put a 2 bedroom condo in the B unit and the A unit has plenty of room as well. I was able to put Loys toys LARGE OVAL 1.5 x 1.0 speaker in the B unit. I could also put a 1.5 x3/4 oval in the other end if I wanted and still have room for the DH-163 and the DSX. I choose to stay with just the humongus oval. I like the way they made these. The body weight is all vertical around the edges of the frame. The inside is hollow or empty. Plenty of room for large speakers without major mods. As soon as I get in my next batch of DSX’s I will soundify[:D] the A unit. The vid is blurry as my cam was too close but the head light effects are awesome. You will notice my F1/2 ABBA consist cruising by. Hopefully my vid quality will get better. Hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/w/?v=x18d_8gjggw
scubaterry, Great Video, I realy like seeing the two train passing each other. Nice layout too. We will want to see more now.
Keep up the great work.

ennout - I published a thread several days ago about the ABBA consist. An F1 A/B set and an F2 A/B set. All with home grown sound and mu’d together. That would be the consist that passes on the right as the Headlight from hell approaches. So if anyone missed it after you watch the Bright Lite vid check out the ABBA vid. I have been using my little dig still cam. I broke out the big boy today and will take some vid with the video cam and post it soon.

I just finished putting sound in the new Athearn RS-3 and about done putting two speaker sound in my first Kato RS-2. I removed the brass strips and straps on the Kato and hard wired everything and it runs so smooth. Put a 3/8 in speaker in the front facing up thru the vent and a 1 x 1/2 oval in the Cab facing down. Should have a vid sometime soon.

I liked it! Even though sound is compressed thru the internet, I could tell that this puppy was loud! You’re right about that headlight…it’s more of a flood light!
NIce touch having the trains pass and salute each other with horns (just like prototypes).
The F units sound like they have Nathan K3 horns, while your C-liner’s “chimers” are definetly Nathan M3. The sweet sound of locomotives! [:-^][swg][{(-_-)}][8D]
