2020 Scarborough Model Railroaders Compilation - HO
มุมมอง 2.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Highlights of trains running at the Scarborough Model Railroaders HO layout in 2020. Most of the motive power in the video are mine, with some exceptions. Some of the rolling stock are my own while the rest belong to the club or others. Clips are mostly taken on my phone, often while operating a train, so there are some shaking here and there.

    easy fix just buy tons of those athearn gears they'll run forever.😙 Also note adding some plastic between the the two wheelsets to ensure no short circuits when you insert axles back in too tight. Add some very small shavings of plastic into hole first and insert wheel, with a small dab of CA glue on tip insert back into gear and check flanges with gauge....ask me how i know.

    When people say that diesels all look the same. Tell them that Today, yes, they do look the same, but in the past, there were many different types, including Cowl units. Cowl Units & Cab Units, to me personally, are my favorite type of Diesel Locomotive. They have that complete uniformity all throughout, and they don’t have those Huge Radiators on those Thin little bodies, no, it’s all the same width throughout, and I love em for it. Also, when people say that Cowl Units look great with passenger trains, tell those same guys that they look good with freight as well. Although, like all locomotives, they have their upsides and their downsides, and the downside for Cowl Units is that you can’t see directly to the Rear of the Locomotive itself. A price has to be paid when it comes to looking good I suppose, in the world of different types of diesel locomotives.

      I figured is formula out just I don't know how to set up an entire spreadsheet like he did but I think you don't need to spreadsheet and just a piece of paper and a calculator. Basically its top speed desired divided by models actual top speed (50/55=90.9%), take that result and divide it by 255 (90.9% or .909/255=231.8) so you'd set it at CV5 max at 232. I hope that helps. Unfortunately the drop box link is dead but this should help you within reason.

    Absolutely correct about the Bachman non sound decoders. Bachman engines do have the ability to run pretty well, but they insist on putting those deplorable decoders in them. At least, they have the 8 pin plug, in them, & the DCC ready ones, also, which makes it easy to swap out. The balance issue, on the drivers, happens quite a lot, with steamers.I bought a Bachman 2-8-0, while back & a 4-8-2 mountain, & have put decent non sound decoders, in them, & they run beautifully, at slow speed. The decoder choice makes all the difference. Sorry for the late responce. I have seen this vid long ago, & thankyou. Cheers Michael NZ
