Hey, Mike. It is suggested that unless you plan to run this loco on DC as well as DCC, you disable the DC functions on the Analog Controls tab and run NMRA Digital only. This prevents a transitory DCC spike from making the loco take off at Warp 8 and self destruct with a Lemming Leap off your layout table. A scale 350 ft (scale) swan dive is hard to recover from... BTDT.

Nice build, but Don't like the hot-spots from the LED's.

i dont understand why I need this and not just do it on the regular layout track. Sorry but I am a novice,

[thank, you for youre great video]👍👍

That might give me some tips on how to paint my own train set thanks for the idea.

Focus, man. Focus!

That's the 130' turntable which is too big for my needs. Damn pity that Walthers don't make their 90' in N scale, only HO.

Great Sign! Wanna do one myself. What stock or material did you use to either laser or inkjet text and graphics to it?

Thanks for sharing to this point! I’m working on repainting something all red into CSX colors as well as painting an undecorated. Looking for all the steps I can. I think the clear coat part was really helpful so I’m glad you mentioned it. I do remember hearing that before.

How you managed to do this without slicing your finger is beyond me. For anybody who uses a blade, don’t keep your hands on the other side of a blade this sharp. That’s at least when you’re applying moderate or more force like when working on the hand rails.

I'd watched a vid about DC vs DCC before but I subscibed today because I saw in my feed, the vids on the large passenger terminal here. That kind of scene, and how it is built, is always interesting to me. Passenger operations can make for a great session, in, and of themselves.

If you have the space, put the station over the tracks with a street viaduct and make those tracks thru-tracks. You could extend platforms and shed on the other side of the depot that way, also.

obviously in your video the act of tinning your wires were done off the top of the frame.

Thanks for the tip. I need this to keep my cat off the layout. And still be able to run trains.

Learning a lot on making scenery for a large station. Thank you

Nice

Thank You. I am getting started with Trains again. This really helped.

Where you get your back drops?

Congratulations Mike!

Wow. This is going to be the perfect barrier for keeping my cat off the layout. Thanks!

The LEDs look great but honestly I'd use a mix. It would give some texture to the overall lighting and show more randomness in each building.

thanks

Thanks. Appreciate your sharing this. Very nicely done. Those alligator clips are a bit long, risking possible shorting.

Mike. Mike! MIKE!!!! it’s your layout calling from the basement. Haven’t seen you in a while. It’s cold outside, it’s winter, not as much to do outside. C’mon down and visit us. You know there are at least 2,240 subscribers out there that miss you too.

Thanks for the advice on the glue for windows canopy glue thats great I need some I used Elmer glue

Nice job on your train station

Nice tips. Thank you.

Yes, need to cut the LED out put as too bright or find some warmer LEDs.

Mike where did you get that movie roll of led's lighting?

I love ur union station columns r great

detail work and amazing paint work ....

SOLDER not soder

Thanks so much for creating this video, it really helped me!

Just saw this. Genius. Currently working on this issue around my layout. Was using Vallejo putty but this is so much better, neater, and can better color match.

The great thing about the plastic that’s left behind from building a kit is the extra parts can be used to make another building and the small stuff is great filler for a salvage yard gondola! It looks awesome Mike! Love your channel and the videos!

The people inside are giants compared to the people outside.

Good job you solved my problem! I gave you a big thumbs up!!

Absolutely amazing series on Drop Down Bridges! I stumbled across it searching for how I wanted to handle an ~4' span across doorway. Researched Lift ups (won't work, 53" base height, 8' ceilings, do the math, won't cut it...) Then looked at lift outs, ok a possibility, but then found this channel and the series, watched them all. I love the idea of terrain on each side of the drop down (I had planned on a narrow 2 main bridge with just a couple of trestle bridges, but now all in for making wider and add scenery!) An amazing engineering/electrical/artistic concept. Very well done and I have watched/subscribed to a lot of MRR channels. This is the route I am going to go. Thank you for sharing! Now to catch up on the rest of your channel! I did got to website to see final pics but was unable to find them :(

One idea I learned to limit “bleed over” on windows, is to take an applicator and apply dabs if super glue to the edges of where the window is going to go. It reduces the “bleed over.”

Some basic signs, I just used Microsoft Word and tested out different fonts.

Mike, Just found this vid (04/03/22) Really nice clear instruction. Thanks! Now I just need to buy a Sprog II.

What type of glue did you use to reattach the handrails?

Miss your videos but completely understand what is keeping you from working on trains. Take care of yourself.

I can see where your "depression" is coming from. You're working on Mustangs........that would ruin anyone's attitude !

Hi Mike, I really miss your videos and have been looking for them every Friday. I am not financially able to take up model railroading so I enjoy watching your layout and how to sessions. Yes I would enjoy seeing videos of what you are doing now! Glad to hear your not down with COVID and hope you regain your "juices" . Remember " Happy Modeling" ! Best regards Steve.

Someone sounds like theyre from Wisconsin ;-)

Great to hear you and your family is doing fine. Though we do miss you I know what you are going through. After my wife passed I walked away for a time. But when I got back my family, RxR friends, & I had a plan to increase my previous layout six fold. Then after minor setbacks I had a heart attack in January. Now I'm getting my strength back and will return to the train room full speed ahead by Spring. So kick back. Chillax. We'll see you A.S.A.P. Jim

Good to know you are good. Real life dose come first and some times you need a break. Thanks for sharing, David

Glad you're doing alright. A monthly update would be neat but I like seeing the model trains better. A monthly update lasting a few minutes just to keep in touch would be ok. 👍

Well it was good you are back in a good place... we all have hit the wall and It is good you are still modeling. You are doing cars , me I am scratch building buildings for my HO buddies. I still go back to your older vids to refresh how you did something. Speaking of Air Brushing I just bought a Badger renegade velocity it is great for detail work. So how is your 3D resin printer holding up?
