Good morning everyone.
I finally got my UPS engine last week!! I'm glad I bought it but why did Lionel advertise it will have trainsounds and it did not come with trainsounds. Also, why are the vents (white) I thought they would be the color of the shell?
Also, this is my first modern era diesel and you can see the circuit board behind the engineer. Is this normal too? I realize I did not pay $600 for it but, it was still more than the starter engines at $100.
Overall it looks nice pulling all the UPS freight cars.

Some video for your viewing pleasure. High speed connection recommended.
Amtrak roaring past the Roger's Corners switch tower and through Big Bear Mountain beneath the Bob Evans' farm.
The lead units are Williams Genesis Engines, with the powered unit converted to TMCC/RS using a TAS kit. Williams can pull stumps. The passenger cars are used MTH. When I found them, they needed repair. Work perfect now!

It was a beautiful day here in the Twin Cities. Nice pics everyone. Here is a little under and over shot.
Basic NEW layout is done, have a little more to do. At least the tracks are done!

6. Back room and storage track [notice Lionel sawmill is now added]:
Three layers of Celetex Soundstop on all surfaces in big room and one layer in back room.
All for now.

Great pics everybody - starting to really like those prewar trains, envfocus. Chief, looks like you have a great layout shaping up. Does that tile you put down really soak up the noise?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Nice pictures all,
This week my burro crane arrived. As advised by laz57 I took off the hood and oiled the motor shaft. That reduced the noise (a bit) but it still doesn't need electronic sound
Also I put up a small video on youtube, since there was not one burro crane on it.

It works fine though. A real clever design, using the same axle to turn the cab and lower/rise the hook reduces the needed space. Also it's speed is quite realistic. But one of the comments on the video was "how did they put a lawnmowermotor in such a small crane", which says enough about the noise

It is not tile. It comes in 4X8 sheets and is soundproofing. It is the equlivant to Homasote but less than half the price.
Great photos guys
