"On a fine spring morning in 1978, I headed out to Plattsburgh to see what I could catch on the D&H Champlain Division. First up was SC-19, the Whitehall-Rouses Point local freight, with a Geep on point. After clearing the yard, SC-12, the Plattsburgh local, headed out onto the siding, and after picking up a boxcar, headed up to the GP mill. After watching them switch the mill, we caught them down at the yard again to wrap up this day of railfanning on the D&H."
Enjoy! The train sounds were fun to add, I actually recorded the GP38-2 sounds from a real D&H Geep.

Excellent! What is 5001, an RS 11? The sound is great, and so is the horn. What decoder are you using?

Nice video, man! The close-up video is really good!! And the sound was much more realistic than the weak-bass sounds we usually hear from the sound-equipped models.I hope you'll be rebuilding soon...

Hey Harrison, Thanks for the fun vid! Regards, Peter
Thanks for the kind words everyone! Mike, the engine isn't sound, I added the sound seperately. It is indeed an RS-11. Rio Grande, I'm simply looking to make a better layout with more operational features. The idea is I can finish it before I go off to college...
Sorry to hear about the teardown. Is that layout in a club? It looks VERY realistic. You might find the 2nd layout more enjoyable since you can apply lessons learned from the 1st.
