Max,

 

    Great collection and video. A while ago the forum asked people not to list their inventories but I always enjoyed people telling what they own and why. I did have two questions for you the first is you kept mentioning that you could not run your MTH stuff because you did not own a DCS system. Can you not run the MTH in conventional using the Legacy system? I have Legacy and TMCC and I remember hearing both can run conventional engines as well as MTH engines in conventional. I do not know how to do it as I do not own any MTH PS2 or 3 engines so never had to do so.

 

     The second question is you referred to Lionel's shinny paint as non prototypical. All the heritage engines I have seen running on the NS are real shinny especially when clean. The SD60E First Responders and Veterans units also are shinny. Once again I did enjoy your inventory

I have not been running the DCS engines in conventional because I didn't know that was possible. Also, I am getting the WIU soon, so I think I can wait like another few weeks. As for locomotives being shiny, I know that some engines are actually shiny when they are clean, but a lot of times an engine won't be clean. I just like an engine that doesn't look like it was fresh out of the paint shop. Thanks for the support!

What I normally do with the cork is put two "O" scale pieces, one on each edge, and a piece of "HO" in the middle. Thank you!
