Thanks Andrew...👍

[@trainsmad12]

Beautiful.

[@AnthonyRailwayBVideos]

Absolutely stunning! If only I had the money to get one of those.

[@hovermotion]

There are some very good deals on ebay Germany if you are prepared to look and wait...I got mine with over 50% discount.

[@AnthonyRailwayBVideos]

Sounds brilliant. I'll have a look now.

[@ulc35]

Interesting device - and video!

[@hovermotion]

👍...Jim

[@MiltonMoJunction]

Wow Jim, I saw one of these some time ago, without the loco, and thought I know who will be after one of those. With the loco you have exceeded my expectations. Joking aside it is a fantastic bit of kit on it's own let alone with that loco. I sat and watched your video drooling.
Robin

[@hovermotion]

Hi Robin...lol...I've walways wanted one of these roads with the big wooden box and a loco....so I waited and waited...then scanned German until I found one with huge discount so I could not resist.....It's worth the asking price I think as the entire set is very high quality and very well made........Jim

[@umarjavaid4560]

Fantastic

[@hovermotion]

Its a stunning item....I still have it and it works perfect...

[@maxheadroom7687]

Mate I love watching your videos for the quality of all the items you buy and run. You have impeccable taste and manage to get hold of some very exclusive stuff. I really enjoy you sharing and don't think it's excessive, if I could afford it all I would go the same way! How the heck do you get the OK to spend so much on your hobby? Can you share the secret? I'm into Bachmann and Hornby and thought that was expensive! Keep posting these as it shows us what's available on the European scene....looks to kill everything else for quality. All the best, Stephen only just realised that this video is from 2 yrs ago!

[@hovermotion]

Stephen Wratten Hi,Stephen many thanks...yeah I buy a lot of stuff but a lot of it is second hand form sellers across France Germany and Austria..its just a matter waiting for a bargin to come up...
The quality of the locos are mazing they just run and run and never derail inc all the coaches and wagons, the euro stuff is more expensive but worth the extra money....
jim

[@percomotion]

Not over the top at all Jim I think its superb mate infact I love it and the loco is beautiful mate I could watch that all day.
I dread to think of the cost mate but the quality of the box and rolling road is superb.
Kev

[@hovermotion]

Hi Kev...It is a unique set...and the loco is very nice ..ultermate care must be used when picking these models up as they have so much fine detail.

[@howarth004]

As you say Jim ..Pure quality ...enjoy your purchase ..as I know you will ..Dave

[@hovermotion]

Hi Dave at work at the moment major staircase I will send you a pic...yes it's a nice item..Looks good on the display shelf...

[@georgethomas7814]

All that attention to detail and still the power cable comes out under the base ???? It does look good, nice to watch as you said.

[@hovermotion]

Yeah its a strange wire coupling to the tender...like a lot of Roco models..

[@AdiPullen]

lovely piece of kit I wish they did one in DC
for bachmann or Hornby locos

[@hovermotion]

+Adi Pullen Thanks Adi...Its a Fantastic bit of kit ...Jim

[@zezvabichinashvili6571]

Good, the video is good!!!!!!

[@padhyemihir]

Nice One Jim

[@hovermotion]

Thanks Mihir...👍

[@SimonLivertonCentral]

Hi, I wanted one of those to go with my ROCO Z21, but too expensive for me to buy...Excellent product...Simon

[@hovermotion]

Hi simon..if you looks around you can get the rolling road as a single item on eBay Germany and some ebay shops just want to move them out of there stock so some auctions end at very good prices.
I got mine with over 50% discount on this item..

[@SimonLivertonCentral]

Many thanks for letting me know, I will have a look...Simon

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

A treadmill for loco's. What will they think of next. Great way to work in new models. Whos says you don't have space. Beautiful unitScott

[@hovermotion]

Hi Scott
I know...crazy. .it's very well made..and a very good programming track too when used with the z21 app and a tablet.
Jim

[@bartstoopjes]

Nice socks hehe 👍

[@hovermotion]

lol..I know ......😃

[@tony68mc]

Very nice. Not over the top, not a gimmick and extremely VERY necessary. Enjoy it you jammy devil.

[@hovermotion]

tony68mc yeah...it is a nice item....very well made...it runs three rail too...

[@JH4181]

very nice

[@hovermotion]

Thanks ...Jim

[@martinyamaha147]

nice toys

[@blameusa7082]

*TRIGGERED* They are accurate detailed model representations NOT TOYS!!! RAGE!!

[@FarlandHowe]

Hmm, box finger jointing, very strong. Now that is a rolling road. Are those some kind of metal belts? It is over the top. Just the thing for you. Thanks for showing it to us. Graham is going to need one of these. lol Rob

[@hovermotion]

Hi Rob....it runs on special spring wires..the faster the loco go's the faster the wire gos..etc all controled via the built in z21 interface. .funny to watch as sometimes if it go's out of sync or changing speed the two censors take over to correct and recenter on the plynth when it's in motion or when it comes to a halt.

[@FarlandHowe]

+hovermotion Hi Jim, what are the centering sensors? Are they laser distance measuring units trying to equalize the reading?

[@hovermotion]

+Rob McCrain not sure..they do what you say...maybe inferred

[@kevintregunna]

That's a fine piece of kit totally awesome love the loco as well looks extremely well made a quick question do you know how to switch the lighting function on an ESU Xl decoder to work LEDs have looked on page 62 of the instructions but it is beyond me and not very clear cheers Kevin

[@hovermotion]

Thanks Kev...it's a very presice bit of kit...
on the esu decoder...v3.0...? ...I programme mine on the esu programer or ecos...I will have a look for the direct c.v input...

[@kevintregunna]

Hi Jim thanks had a look but not really sure

[@kevintregunna]

Sorry Jim a v4 xl sound decoder

[@hovermotion]

kevintregunna sorry Kev did you sort it out I forgot to look.....Jim

[@kevintregunna]

Hi Jim not as yet been given a couple of ideas but been away not had a chance to look

[@rogerglasgo4902]

what is the product name and item number. how much is it in american dollars. Watch the whole video. just loved it and the engine is just fantastic. love your channel.
please do more videos on the ecos mobile controller you are the only youtuber I have found who has this controller and reviews it in english. you have a great layout also.

[@hovermotion]

Hi Rodger. .Thanks very much. ....It's a Roco smartrail not sure on the conversion to us dollars but I found one with over 50%discount but you would have to import it yourself from Germany ebay to get a deal like the one I got so to cut out the middle man or hobby store.
I may do some more vids on the esu throttle too...
All the best ....Jim

[@rvooyen]

Aaah I see an issue! Cant run my e-locs on it cos of panto pick up. yah yah je yah yah. (Green me). Robert

[@hovermotion]

lol...

[@dbdrdbag]

No men can resist this beauty!
By the way, do you know if this loco is available separately?

[@hovermotion]

yes you can find it on ebay Germany .....Jim

[@hughmcphee7698]

Hello Jim is it possible to operate analog trains on the Roco smartRail?

[@hovermotion]

Central Station Hi ..sorry no its only dcc...ac dc two rail or three rail.

[@SuperWHIZZO]

The fender stratocaster of rolling roads !! (or something) . I take it ,it can`t be formulated to fit two small locos on for simulated double heading ?

[@hovermotion]

lol..yes I suppose it is...
not sure if it can I think you you can double head...
maybe two small locos on the same address. ..I will try it out....
this roaling road and also do three rail marklin too.
Jim

[@oscarm2444]

This video should be titled....."My Baby"

[@vwgolfer1873]

Christmas has come early for sure

[@hovermotion]

Hi Matt!..yes....it has...I got this for a price I could not refuse. ....it looks cool on my display shelf. ..

[@vwgolfer1873]

Cool man. Thats a investment too. If for some reason you ever need to get rid of it way down the road you will get a decent fetch for that im sure. Take care

[@hovermotion]

Matt Jenkins Thanks Matt....👍

[@rvooyen]

Certainly beats my Biro pen lifting a couple of wheels off the track to run a loc standstill. My Biro costs 45 cents, what does the Roco cost. LOL (I'm just jealous) Robert

[@hovermotion]

Hi Robert....it's more of a display shelf item really but it can be used as a programming track etc as the Z21 and wifi is built into the cabinet...I have yet to plug a hard wired controller in yet (profi boss) and try the plasser works loco...

[@padhyemihir]

Running Trix Big Boy must be out of question, right?

[@hovermotion]

The big one will not fit..

[@jaribarem]

When this is you gift for Christmas , please give me his address . Great . Take good care on it . Gr Jan .

[@hovermotion]

Lol...Thanks ..Jan..take care.......Jim

[@davidhoughtoncricutdave1051]

Man cave toy !!!!

[@hovermotion]

very true...👍

[@percomotion]

Turn it off Jim I can't stop watching it.

[@hovermotion]

lol...I just sat there and watched the loco...once it's running a few minutes it sits dead center on the plinth.
