Nothing new this week and i may run my n scale train and run my new cars and post a video!!! Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend!! Post away everyone!!!!!

I agree!
I just have a question. This type of video pops up without any controls. Is there a way to control the volume? I'd like to turn it down for me. Sometimes they blast. I have my overall computer volume turned down already.
Joe i'm not sure about the volume hope somebody comes in that knows how!!

Seems you run an awful lot of 1:29 equipment given your MTH 1:32 locomotives. Do you just put 1:29 right behind the engines or do you put some 1:32 in-between?

I put freight together anywhere in the consist. It just does not bother me about the size difference. I see so many differences on the real trains that I get a kick out of some comments on my videos.
I do admit, that for some reason I can't stand putting 1/32 and 1/29 scale passenger trains together. I really wonder if some of the so called 1/29 passenger equipment is oversized? The LGB Genesis and cars are definitely built to a larger scale.

The 10% volume difference might be more present in a passenger train where you have uniform cars throughout as opposed to a mixed freight where you don't necessarily have uniform cars one after another?
The width is the big question for me with the freight. AML and Aristocraft have produced a number of models I like but the 1:29 width dimension seems more noticable with 40' cars.
I buy all different eras of freight cars. That's where the big problem comes in mixing them and different scales of each. I'll have a couple of big consists outside where one might be a coal drag and another a mixed freight. The next session I may put them together to create a bigger train. All the cars and eras get mixed in. When a larger modern car made in the larger 1/29 scale, gets next to an older era smaller car made in the smaller 1/32, it can look much worse. It still can be prototypical!

Great stuff guys.
Makes me feel like digging out some of my On30, HO & N gauge.
Some of it has been packed away for over 30 years.
I need to visit more often.
Thanks wild mary and come right over and post away!!!
