    Great demonstration. The layout looks awesome. The runs went well. It wouldn't be a video with some bloopers. I was so distracted with the sound system i didn't notice your audio mic until you mentioned it on print on screen. 😀😀🤣🤣🤣. Good job Fred.👍✅🎥

      Thanks Harold 😀. I’m looking forward to using it in Texas.

    Pretty sweet engine, Fred. Ran smoothly and sounds great. I like the paint scheme too. Thanks for sharing. Have fun and happy modeling.

      I’m pretty happy with it. I don’t use all the sound functions on some other locos so this loco is fine with me.

    very nice unit Fred, I have wondered about the mainline locos in general. Keep thinking that i would like one. LOL

    • @FredE528
      @FredE528  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Dave 😀 The unit is not super detailed and has limited sound features. But it’s ‘not bad’. I seldom use more than bell and horn. I’ll be real happy if hand rails are durable and don’t break.

    Those are wonderful units. I have a PRR version from BLI. No stripes though. You won't lose track of that baby on the layout!
    My day started off well. I received my long awaited crawler with a tilt up back. It'll definitely save my back from going out.
    Unfortunately, the afternoon on the layout was fubar squared. Some days you can't do anything righr, no matter how persistent. "Some days" are coming more often now. 😣
    Aren't hobvies supposed to be relaxing?
    Enjoy the new switcher.

      Thanks Frank 😀 Who said hobbies are fun? I’ve asked myself that question many times. Glad you got the deluxe creeper. I love mine. Just wish it would stand me back it. Too bad about the fubar. But it’s just part of the ‘fun’.

    Beauty! I really like it. Nice purchase. Good review. Can’t go wrong with Walthers. Sounds good. Good speed. Short sentences. What’s up with that? Not sure. See ya.

    • @FredE528
      @FredE528  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Mark 😀. I’m pretty happy with it. I’ll probably experiment with different bell and horn sounds.

      You must have a bunch of short phases setup as keystroke macros. Saves you a lot of time when you aren’t inspired by the video. Clever!

    Great video and tutorial of the new SOUTHERN PACIFIC NW2! I have the same one w the Zebra stripes and love it bcuz I'm a fan of Switchers to start with! Its 1 of 4 that I have now. Was that the Pellet Plant you showed w the Cargil green at the top? Thanks again for sharing your videos with us Fred!

    • @FredE528
      @FredE528  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Shawn. It will be used a lot on my TX layout. 😀

    • @FredE528
      @FredE528  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, that is the Pellet plant model. Not finished attaching the piping. I’m not going to use the pipes extending past the towers.

    That’s a really nice switcher and it looks great in the SP paint. Looks like it runs well and sounds good too. How are you feeling buddy?

    • @FredE528
      @FredE528  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Derek 😀. Overall I’m well. I developed cough over least few days. I did home COVD test yesterday and it was negative. Guess it’s just old fashion cold. I’m making slow progress on the layout. Spending a lot of money bit no more track added. Close to having Cargill to pint that I can live with it.

    How's it going?
    Except for one mangled Peco turnout and a few rail gouges because I'm not talented with a Dremel tool, I'm getting track laid pretty well. Practice!
