New MM & BS train ride video includes new branch line, changing viewpoints, and one of my songs.
Mike,
Really cool railroad and a great song to boot! Nice work on both.
Thank you Joe! If’n you’re ever down this way, come see it in person!
Way cool railroad, and good music too. Well done.
I’ll second that…or third it…or whatever…
Will do. It looks like you are only about 90 minutes south and west of me.
Thanks guys!
Yeah Joe, not all that far.
Thanks for sharing Mike, great song. well done;)
That’s amazing! Very nice railroad!!!
Thanks again all y’all!
Believe it or not, this represents 9 months of work. It is only a year since “breaking ground” in February 2013, but I spend my summers in the Poconos (PA) for 5 months.
Almost all of the track, rolling stock, and structures are from an old Garden RR I had in PA for 7 years, then it was all put in storage for 7-8 years until February 2013. So I had the inventory already.
Control is Digitrax DCC with JMRI software connected to the DCC loconet. For my throttle, I use my cell phone running Engine driver Android app that connects to JMRI over my wireless network router.
For anyone running DCC, the JMRI software and phone app are SO much easier to use for programming and running. It is the difference between reading English instead of code!
Great video Mike, love the tour of the R.R. & right on the train to. Good job all the way around…
Lookin’ good man!
