Another Streets Conversion - Military Truck

Well done. That came out very nice.

Nice work!

Fantastic. Boy between you and Lee it's really hard to compete with that perfection.

That's pretty clever. The use of DCC decoders in the vehicles is an interesting idea as it opens up the door for automated control as well as sound and lights.

I love the sound and lights, really makes them come to life. 

This is very cool!  Wonderful.  I love all the army vehciles - you do need to do a convoy!

That is really neat! I have some (now) fond memories of riding in Duece and half, back then it wasn't so fun, however that truck was and still is a really neat vehicle.

I'm impressed, what a great addition to an O gauge military base or area of operations.  I really like that truck the best.  I need to learn more about that sound system.  I would like to chat with you on the subject.  Thanks for posting.

Very nice. The sounds and lights take it to another level. Thanks for sharing, Terry

Awesome! Nice work!

That is some fine work and thoroughly entertaining to watch.  So i guess it is Lee's turn now to come up with something new and wild. Boy if I had 1/10th of the skills you all have  to do this I would be very happy.

 

Thanks for sharing the video,

No . . . this is too cool and I'm working on some train things now.  This is the best 'Streets I have seen.  Love the sound!!!  That military truck is really cool.  

That is great!!! Now you need to find a sound file that recreates the whistler turbo since the deuce had it's own unique sound or as a friend of mine used to say the "call of the wild".

Thanks everyone for your comments.

 

AGHRmatt - Not sure if I am ready to go that deep into Digitrax (yet), but the automated control and signaling features of their system does allow that possiblity.

 

Paul Kallus - Fond memories - like the dust sucked into the canvas covered cargo bed? 

 

TexSpecial - Sent you an e-mail with a write up I did to give you more info on this system.

 

Lee Willis - Thanks!  This is the first sound vehicle with an "electronic flywheel".  The Digitrax version doesn't quite have the reserve of the TCS KA2 but it does the job.

 

suzukovich - Unfortunately, my former deuce (where most of these sounds came from) was not much of a "whistler".  When I get to the next deuce conversion, I will have to search the internet again or possibly on my yearly trip to the Iola Vintage Military Show, I may be able to capture those sounds.  I agree with you, it is a unique sound.     

 

Thanks again!

Larry....I really enjoyed your conversion.  Between you and Lee, well.....if you two were to get together on a project, it would certainly be fantastic!

 

Great job Larry...thanks for posting.
