I would have loved to be one of your neighbors to be able to watch this railroad in action from my front porch in your front yard. I was never that fortunate to live by someone with a front yard railroad so I had to build my backyard and sideyard lines :) Looks Good! I watched the videos too.
One question: I see that you have an LGB sound car there or at least it looks like one. How do you rate the sound? I took mine out of service and switched to Charles Ro sound cars to run with my equipment that has no sound. I just couldn’t relate to that german imitation of US sound.
One comment: I see that you are using some grass carpet type matting or at least it looks like it. I had nothing but bad luck with ourdoor matting from OSH. The first little railroad I build I used that stuff on twice and it lasted about a year each time before it started to rot away.
Rudolf thanks. When I first started I did not tell my neighbors what I was doing. I wonted to see how long it would be untill one asked. It was about a hour.
there are pictures on my website of it from the strat. I need to get ones from this year up pn there still.
Now the LGB sound car I like. I think the sound is ok. Its not a high dollar sound but I am not realy one for sound so the LGB one works fine for me. I do find it to be tons better then the Bmann sound and the sound car is better thenthe sound from my LGB 2-4-0 loco that came with sound.
The grass is fake truf. I have a friend that puts in putting greens and he got it for me. So far it has held up good. This is its second year down and so far no sign of it falling apart. I do need to find a good way of tacking it down. The wind has picked it up and moved it around a few times on me.
If you would like to get rid of your LGB sound car let me know. I could use a second one.
Take care
Geoff
