A little train action with 3rd Rail's AC9

Well, like you Jack, we run everything from NKP, B&O, C&O, NW, NYC, to MKT, SF, SP and the UP. So you never know what you'll see running around the layout on any given day. This particular video just happen to be all SP stuff with a 6 pack of aluminum PFE reefers  for the layout update (which I still have NOT done the edits for).

 

We are originally from Ohio, so my Dad saw all the NKP, B&O, N&W etc etc living close to Bellvue, OH. Then when I was 6, we moved out west and I grew up with UP, SP, and SF. So we have just about all of it, from the Midwest to the Pacific Coast.

 

Which reminds me....we have been trying to come up with a name for this RR for almost 3 years now. Something that incorporates that idea of the midwest to the west coast. It's worse than trying to name a kid or an animal.  Not asking for suggestions just pointing out what we are trying to come up with that fits the RR.

 

(I love The Central Connecting by the way....fits perfect)

Wow, that is one great looking engine. Looks almost like the SP wanted to streamline it and quit half way in. Sounds great too...........what version of Railsounds does it have?

 

The layout is also top notch, thanks for posting.

Thanks John. 3rd Rail uses the ERR boards with the new sound files. I believe this one is the STEAM RAILSOUNDS-articulated series.  

I don't know how an engine running on a layout could get any better.Nick

It sounds incredible!  I've been considering this board for a scratch built steamer, think you just made me a believer!

 

 

Their new sound files sound really good. If you go to their website, they have samples of them now, although they are kinda hard to find. It's under the RAILSOUNDS tab, and then Purchase Info or something to that effect.

Great video! I love your turntable!!!

Thanks

Outstanding layout and video!
