    I'm amazed at the idea that people didn't catch the date it was posted. I didn't even think about looking until I saw the miter saw, and then I couldn't stop laughing. Got me!

    I'm in that weird part of youtube again. I was minding my own business watching graphic video of botched appendectomies and suddenly there's a guy cutting an F unit in half...

      I almost soldered the decoder like he said too than i saw the saw...

    wow it is really that easy, I have been so worried about adding decoders,, but you make it look so so so easy, wife has a chop saw and i am going to try this in the morning,, don't worry i have safety glasses.. I don't have a speaker yet but i think i will take the one out of my IPhone 7 and use that. can fix the phone later. thanks for the tip.

    @PennCentral99 7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    hard to believe, all these years i've been using the wrong blade on the chop saw. no wonder the loco didn't run right after i put it together. had it not been for you and this video, i'd be clueless.......

    • @pieseasmyseas
      @pieseasmyseas 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      PennCentral99 yeah that is most definitely the wrong blade and that's all you would have better results taking her time with a Dremel tool and why the hell did you cut it in half anyway

    I wonder (lets see show of hands) how many think this is real? First you cut it in half tjen the decoder is made useless which is just put in but not connected to anything and water is used as a hot glue solvent....right. yet somehow, the sounds work and the cut line is not visible. Who ruined their train because this is a joke.
