Well how do you like that!  I posted the video to YouTube and then forgot to put it here!  Oops!  That omission is now corrected.  Enjoy!  🙂  

In the previous video, I showed the complete State Set being hauled by a PS2 #381E from MTH under DCS control.  I also have the PS1 version which, as with the locomotive it reproduces, runs in conventional mode from the … Continue reading →

Having been bitten very badly by the Standard Gauge bug, back in March 2012 I got the ultimate Standard Gauge passenger set — the State Set.  This set is a reproduction of the set that Lionel brought out in 1929 … Continue reading →

I've noticed for some time now that my collection of O gauge trains has been missing one locomotive in particular — a New York Central Hudson.  Now, I do actually have two (videos are on YouTube) but they aren't the … Continue reading →

Here's the last of my older Protosound 1 O-Gauge diesel locomotives that I'm converting to Protosound 2 (this makes a total of six).  This is the Seaboard Orange Blossom Special set which consists of EMD E8s in an A-B-A configuration … Continue reading →

Here's the fourth of my older Protosound 1 diesel locomotives that I've converted to Protosound 2.  It's the Premier model of the EMD BL2 which came out in 1996.  The BL stands for "Branch Line" as it was intended for … Continue reading →
