    That G scale model train reminds me of the similar layout at the IHOP location in Upland, Ca.

      Oh.. an IHOP with a train? Never would have gotten me out of that place on one of my late-night visits during my youth!

    Would it be possible for you to do any installation for one of the proto 1000/2000 E8s or 9s? Lovely video and nice consist.

    To Whoever calls the Alco DL-109 an Ugly Duckling, *YOU ARE WRONG.* It’s a Fine looking locomotive. It has a long Angular nose that has a similarly with other Cab Units, but it’s also unique, and it’s long.

    I thought this video was to be about the decoder install in a DL109. But it appears as thought a great deal of it was about passenger cars, and then some candy store stuff. I actually never did see the actual decoder he installed.

    Real disappointed as I have a number of these DL109 I want to put sound into.

      There are several videos i offer showing decoder installs. They are all fairly similar in diesels. Once you know which wires go to which, just transfer that information over. You don't need to find a video of your exact unit.

    Actually the DL units were 2000 hp with double engines. The models weigh a ton, as the NH models could pull passenger and freight.
