Does the Red and White narrow gauge diesel have sound in it? I can't remember the name of the diesel, but I remembered that it is narrow gauge.

No, the red&white diesel doesn't have any sound.

iandor, I am more of a haha funny man, although that is the opinion of my 3 year old nephew, so it's either way, really.

mt14l, as you have probably have guessed, this is not a permanent track. It takes roughly half a day to build and it takes about an hour the next day to dismantle and store the whole thing. We use sand and wooden supports (sticks) to support the track in uneven areas. Every track is a little different and that's what makes it interesting. We're now planning long tunnel and a large bridge, so watch out for some new videos in the near future!

Sounds like what I am doing at the moment.

I throw down my track and switches (us South Aussies use that in lieu of Points, hang over from the days we had a yank run our railways) and hook up my MTS and play away.

Am amazed at how time flies by, even with HOG shunting in the mix. And then one has to put it all away! [:(]

I have a quicktime movie I'd be happy to email on - its 9meg in size though.

Nic,

My E-mail account has a max of 5 Mb so that would be a problem, but I would really like to see your video. You could try YouTube or another video/filesharing service like I did.
