STARTLING CRASHING SOUND FROM MY GP-35... | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Former Member

Howdy,

This morning I was walking around my layout with my new Wireless Cab, and at one point when I was very close to the loco, I hit a button on the conroller not knowing what it was for, and suddenly there was this huge crashing sound, like 2 locos colliding head-on! I found out this was the "crashing coupler" sound!

Here's a shot of my Geep at the point where it happened, just emerging from Quartzite Pass below Avalanche Summit. (Elev. 48" above the carpet.)

HAR HAR! That's a good 'un!

Our Ceramic Dog (actually a Wolf) is full-scale. The Loco is 1/48 scale.

"Tundra" is an accurately cast resin (not ceramic) replica of a live wolf that once resided at the San Diego Wolf Preserve.

Thanks for your interest.
