Fantastic Presentation Niel

Is that the Speedy Gonzales special?

Hey Neal I am building a n scale layout in the spring. I am giving serious thought in going with battery rc dead rail. The last thing I need to find out though if im gonna go with battery is will the battery be able to give my lokos the same pulling power that my Bachmann starter set transformer will? With new gears and a couple extra driver wheels with traction tires I got my Bachmann 4-8-4 northern (with the throttle on full power) to pull 25 rapido coupler pizza cutter flanged wheeled cars over a mock setup of the toughest grade I gonna have on my layout. My goal is 35-40 cars and if I add couple more traction tire drivers and some weight .on the front part of chassie to keep the loko from wantin to do a wheelie, I think its possible. I couldn't find much of any videos on CZcams of n scale, or ho pulling heavy freights with battery power. Most of dead rail videos On youtube they are haulin trains like the ones you are runnin. I've asked a handful of people this question with no real diffinitive answer. Maybe you can answer this question for me. Hope to hear back from ya. - steve

Gorgeous

Pretty cool.

Very Cool!

Is there another way of charging these battieries, or does it require powered rail for charging?

Are you in PR I can hear all the 🐸 coquins in the background 😂😂😂 my wife is from PR and I love the singing of the coquins special at night, by the way I will start to building a garden G scale but I would like to convert the trains to battery power any recommendations where I can find what I need to convert?

Good stuff here comes the future (again )👍

Neil, Unfortunately, I just found this video/sound test. I do not know why it just showed up. Anyway, I feel all the mics worked out okay. I say, use the one that is more convenient for you. The real test would have been to repeat the same sentence on each test, in the same tone and at two different distances on each. Up close and back a ways from the mic. As to the direction mic, it might come in handy if you are running trains while talking so that the sounds from the trains do not drown you out. Which one did you prefer? There folks creating model railroading content on CZcams that I feel have a problem with their mics, because you can tell when they have turned their head away from the mic by the amount of fade they get in their audio. I found a good source about being a content creator on CZcams for model railroading. Charlie at the Chadwick Railway made a very good video about this on his channel. czcams.com/video/Gqj-qdNJHIk/video.html

Any update on this? My father in law just road this a few weeks ago and would love to see this.

Battery in the tender?

Happy Mother’s Day to your mother

@Neil, Since you charge through the rails, I wonder whether there is still some track cleaning necessary. How long has it been since you’ve had to clean the track?

Can’t wait until the tech advances to my scale = Nscale ha ha!

Need some railroadiana

Neil Saw your comments about corner joints and cricut use on today’s New Tracks Modeling Work Shop show. Thanks for putting this up and with ingredient amounts this time. I’ve subscribed. Keep them coming.

Neil, I just found your CZcams channel. I am going to look through your videos. I got my Broadway Limited Imports C-16s running on my layout. Of course I am still limited for space, but it is coming along.

When I built my layout, I had a "future trestle" locations also. Somehow after the train was running and the scenery was in the future trestle location lasted about 10 years..... Your progress is wonderful.

Awesome

All 3 mics that used the sound board sound best, but the mobility and quality combination of the airpods seems like a good combination. Number 4 sounded good for a headset, but they are ugly and apparently uncomfortable. I'd say if you want mobility, go with the Airpods, if you want the best audio, go with the Shure.

I like all your short videos.

My bet was it was not going to go well because of the kitty inspector! Those ties are much too organized...... Hahahahaha! Nice cat!! (Well behaved too!)

Hey Neil, I'm designing an On30 layout. I just bought one of these Bachmann Forneys, I was going to do 18" radius curves, but do you know if the rear coupler swings too far off the side to pull cars?

This is a well known paper-mache recipe.

Wow! Neil, is there anything you can't do? AND its all wireless, Wow again! I thought you were injured. You have more track laid than I thought. You need to post this in a new thread so that it isn't hidden in my blog.

FREEKING AMAZING! (I so want one... some day I will be getting an F scale 1:20.3 engine for when I get the Dime Novel Legends figures I've been backing... right now, I'm looking at getting either a Shay, or a Climax)

You gave the measurements for everything but the joint compound. Can you please tell me how much of that I need to add.

I need a looooot of clay...for new model of BMW M3 DTM (e46) 1:1 size

This is On30 and battery powered but works well!

They seem to work very nicely. :)

awesome!!!

Very good!

Cool! Excellent! I liked the trick to model! Very good!
