As much as I hate the thought of the Southern Pacific Railroad becoming and "assimilation of the Borg," the few years after "Uncle Pete" took over the joint were pretty interesting, at least for railfanning.

    Have you ever tried BLI and their Rolling Thunder for the bass under the benchwork? I wonder if you can add that interface to other brands for the bone shaking bass? Those adjustments really helped the sound.

    Nicely done! Definite improvement on the sound quality. I'm just starting down the model railroading rabbit hole and am primarily sticking with LokSound decoders. Just another reason why I'm glad I am focusing on ESU. Now if we can just get ESU to develop a BlueTooth controllable decoder... 😁 Thanks for sharing - very helpful 🤠

  • @Jennifer-K5LA
    @Jennifer-K5LA Před 6 měsíci

    Good to know. Up till now, I was extracting each sound wav by playing and recording them individually then adjusting them in a third-party sound editing program. Then inserting them back into the esu sound file. The results are amazing. I model 1/29 scale and make sealed ported subwoofers out of the fule tanks for the heavy bass and alternate speakers under the radiator fans for the hi range. The bass is massive and actually does rumble with a deep rich drumming, even at idle you can feel the vibration. I can't wait to try this new method. As a little girl it was the unexplainable power in sound that drew me to become a rivet counting train freak. Thank you for this video. 😊

  • @trackntime

    Thanks for the demonstration Joe. The new Loksound feature of tone control is a big help. It makes dialing in sound much easier. Using Scale Sound System speakers on my stuff and will need to check your speaker guy out. Looks like the Trona is home to some of the last good EMD sounds in the west. Nice job on this video

    Hi Joe, what a great video! I've watched this video several times, but I never read the description until just now. The video itself is awesome, but the description is so spot on. It brings back many memories for me. From 1983 to 1993 my brother, my best friend and me used to ride our dirt bikes all over Northern California, chasing the SP. From Williams to Weed, we train watched the SP, until my friend got his license, then he would often pick us up to go train watching. He drove a 79 Datsun B10 though lol, but the story you told was all to similar, and I loved it coupled with your 90's VHS type overlay. Thank you for this gem of a video, Dave B.
