Yeah man, did you delete the previous one?
EDIT: he delete the previous one, but here's a local on his layout 9part 2 in roll). Just posting these because he ain't online, I guess.

Hit your site, Sawyer.
Jordan, you can also put the clip in the timeline bar, then show the audio seperate from the video and drag the audio into the audio section. Alex's method is easier though...
I just imported the tour clip, it should be on YouTube soon, if not tonight, then tomorrow.
Can't wait to see it tyler, don't forget to post a link.
Hey guys, help me out. I gotta get 25 hits on this site in 90 days or i lose the url name. It's the photobucket albulm I got my loco schemes from stan lytle on:

Thanks in advance

Wow, it's that easy...

You should leave 'em, shows how you've improved! ;)
Well, I've been busy revamping my model videos, which have been totally neglected lately. I'm not taking any new video right now, I'm just putting my best clips in a "Best of the WRS" video and adding sound mostly from my prototype videos, as opposed to my old method of taking sound files from online, which I have to loop over and over again because they are too short, making it sound kind of bad.
I've got scenes from almost all of my model videos (except for Railfanning Stude and Railfanning Dooley), but only the best of the best. I've re-dubbed sound from almost all of my prototype videos, which gets a little weird when reading the titles of the audio files in MSWMM...For example I have a video of an SW9 with the horn from a NJT cab car...as well as using sound from two different prototype locomotives for the same model locomotive at different times. This is where it gets weird, as the model is a U23B, and the two prototype locomotives are a GP38 and a GP40P.
I'm going to release this video after possibly getting some clips if another op. session happens this week (I'm waiting on an Email from GuilfordGuy) or sooner if the session doesn't happen. I haven't decided if I'm going to delete the rest of the model videos I currently have on YouTube.
Any thoughts?

Both are good. I don't need the SDL39 proto-type drawings as I already have them.

Phew! I was abut to send another Email to Customer Service about it, but noticed that it was working again. (the last email was because I had two seperate accounts for subscribing to TRAINS and MR, respectively, with the same email address... Fixed now though!
I love to operate, (except I don't all that much because it takes too much time to clean my track/wheels beforehand; by the time I'm ready my parents are calling me to do chores or something...
I wish I could operate on a "good" layout that holds full size operating sessions such as Joe Fugate's Siskiyou Line... I also enjoy scenery building and building Athearn, Roundhouse, MDC, and Accurail freightcar kits. (I haven't attempted any other brands so far because of the price)
I only have one clip of the M&E Alcos without a lot of talking, the other ones have my younger brother and my cousins talking really loudly... "Look! There's a little kid in the train!" "Wave to the people!" Etc... Of course there's little kids in the train... it's the Easter Bunny Express... Unfortunetely that clip is backlighted really bad (moreso than the one with talking) so maybe I'll try to swap the audio...
Humm what kind of modeler am I? I'm kind of like you Alex. I love detailing locomotives so they look almost the same (Although I haven't gotten the parts to do so for my SD45s.) I also am an Arm chair modeler as right now I don't have the space to do what I really want. (Northern Wisconsin, Smaller Subdivision with Ore run throughs on both SP and DMIR, lots of pulp wood, Junction and interchange with the CNW, and a Junction/branch line.)
BTW Tyler, the reason you hear that reving noise at slow speeds is because that is when the engine is starting to load, and the engineer notchs up to get the train started, at higer speeds usually you don't need to do that. To Explain it, in all the locomotives there's a Load meter, once the load meter moves to the right you can move the notch to the side, from lets says notch 2 to notch 3, but you can only notch up when the load meter moves to the right, this prevents wheel slip. In SD70s take a long time to load, but a SD40-2 or older locomotives, it is very quick, which is why you hear the sounds that you hear.

I'm a little arm charish, and a little collecter, and even a little operator. I consider myself as one, that given a picture, can recreate an entire scene, or piece of equipment, but am not as interested in having a huge layout, as I am on working on a diorama or piece of equipment. I still want a layout, but right now only a 5x10ish so I can focus on specific area's, or change out locomotives from a display case(I have a nice list of stuff to model).

I'm pretty much like you.
I like the little extra details, and the behind the scenes stuff, like electronics, making your models come to life I guess...
... Its hard to beat 2 C636's, and a C630 charging up grade with a 32 car train... The sound is amazing...
WRS' Impack's are getting paint... 2 are wearing the old black, 1 is in the shortlived "Blood-Dip" with an entirely red car, and 5 are in the new scheme of a red trailer hitch, and red on another portion of the car(too hard to explain). They are supposed to be decalled later tonight. WRS 1751 was stripped further to remove the old primer exposing the original Santa Fe paint beneath. 1751 needs to have the horn, bell, and 1 ditch light reattached...
Jordan,
I found three articles on what seems to be building a SDL39 in HO. I'll get more info on Saturday.
And secondly, I was doing more reading and I found that you could use a Atlas RSD-4/5/12 frame as a starting point.
So you can plop your shell onto this frame hopefully...

Now what to do about the fuel tank? I guess just replace it? But then you'd have to mill it off, oh, so much work!
I never said anything. You should probably stick to your plan...
I hope I helped a bit...
Sawyer; you could seriously write a book about your different freelanced railroads!
WCFan: Love that SD40-2 rumble. I realize now that I can only hear the rumble while a slow speeds; I also noticed it on this standard GP38 (no Dash 2!) in Palmer around 3:00 in this one: EDIT: Nice smoke at 3:38 (excuse the sound of the lens cap banging against the camera...)

Most of the trains I see are at speed, so I don't notice the individual sounds, as it's mixed with the clickity-clack. I'm now going back and re-watching all my vids to get some throttle sound. I'm trying to see if I have any good video of that M&E Alco that doesn't have my cousins talking in the background...
Thanks WCfan.
Inspired by looking at a few railroads around SC on the web and a map of SC RR lines, my RR is now a 44.something mile shortline connecting Aiken and Edgefield. It's two main locomotives are a GP9 (road switcher) and an H-15-44 (yard switcher). it also has a small leasing fleet, mainly GP30s through GP40s, but a few U23Bs, MP15s, 2 SD39Qs (WC 2500, a Southern Rwy. high hood unit), and several GP38-2s. Also has a frieght car leasing fleet. I might make a small shelf layout showing their leasing yard on the other side of Aiken. Here's the paint scheme:
