That would be so cool if model trains could sound like that!!!

This particular show was in August 2008, but between the Greenberg Show and the Great Scale Model Train Show, there are about 6 or 7 train shows in Timonium each year.

Beautiful scenes from your layout. Greetings Joe 😊

Thanks- I didn't know people were going to enjoy it this much!

That is truly amazing!! Great video thanks for sharing

this is simply amazing

It is an Atlas Master Series Gold edition Dash 8-40CW, equipped with DCC and sound that I found on ebay for about half price. You can also get it without sound (silver edition) for much less. The second locomotive is a Life-Like Proto 2000 SD50 that I picked up second-hand at a train show.

That a really great video. Awesome job with the sound edition!!!

I like the reflection of the ditch lights on the track. so awesome !

I love that sounds thats so awesome!

@NS8366 Thanks for the info about the lights! when i worked for the rail service i would look for the ditch lights when out on the ground marking a rail. the cn high-railer pick up truck if i recall had strobes in the marker lights. the new rail detection trucks had ditch lighs in the fog lights and i think you could use them as fog and ditch lighs.

Great timing with the audio!! Looks like a nice layout!

Yes they are. They're actually brighter than the headlight

You are correct. I've already mentioned the inaccuracy in the video description. The chessie hoppers just happened to be the only ones available at the time to make the train longer than the 18 NS and Conrail hoppers I had on the end.

Great sound effect !! Fantastic :D

That is SOOO sweet!!

Its a modular club layout. We dont have a permanent set-up location so we only put the layout together a few times a year. I have more videos from that weekend i'll post in the future.

All of the Chessie and Conrail hoppers and 2 of the Norfolk Southern's are Bowsers. The other 12 NS hoppers are Bachmann Silver Series. They are all very nice cars.

That was a good video and the sound is real. good job.

very nicely done

This video reminds me of days i had to call into a software tech support company on old freeport road north of pittsburgh near sharpsburg. The same doppler effect could be heard from the trains down in the a. River valley. I loved that sound and apparently still do!

Thanks! I wasnt even trying for that effect but it looks awesome the way it turned out lol

Thanks man!

Atlas did make one in the silver series back around 2005. I dont think they currently produce them but you can usually find them online like ebay and get a pretty good deal.

That sound drives me nuts sometimes just because the NS trains run right outside my house!

The Chessie hoppers werent mine, I borrowed them from a friend... They are either Bachmann or Bowser

nice video for sure! great sound edit!

That was very sweet...Keep up the good work :)

Awesome!

That sounds so realistic!

Amazing video! super great sound fo the vid

I have 2 NS Athearn Dash 9's. They run pretty well but were a bit noisy so I replaced the motors to make them run more smoothly

Thank you!

Wow great video

At first I was like how cool! And now I'm like HOW AWESOME!!!

great video

Thanks alot!!

very nice job editing.

NICE SOUND LOOKS LIKE FROM REALY TRAIN I LIKE IT

awesum sound effects!!!!!!!!!!

thats cool. I got a plan to have a conrail coal train in the future--still havent decided on what to use as motive power.

Thanks!

Im not sure I know exactly what you mean, but those ditch lights (as well as the DCC and sound) came with the locomotive straight out of the box. The lights stay on all the time but they are programmed to flash whenever the horn is blown.

Thank you

That is way to cool, Ive got to get my setup running again, need to talk to my wife and clear out a bedroom.

I replaced it with an A-line proto power repowering kit. The kit comes with a new can motor.

Atlas Dash 8-40CW. Its the gold edition with factory sound but I used sound from a real train for the video.

Very nice.

beautiful horn....sounds just like an actual classic ns horn. nice engines...its always nice to see conrail even if it is models and thier in great condition

Thanks NS8366!

Sweet!

I actually have a pair of SD40-2's that I can use as "manned" helpers so I can replicate operations on Horseshoe Curve.

Through the magic of video editing!

Thanks! my pleasure...

nice vid bro

Awsome dude sounds great 5****

I smell a Chessie fan!

Yes, the model is a life-like proto 2000

love that NS coal train

Thanks! and yes, the ditch lights came with that model.

Thanks! I just bought a whole bunch of BLMA Top Gons to make the train look even more NS!

About $160-$170 on ebay a couple years ago but you'll probably find them cheaper now. This one came with DCC and sound

Nice C40-8W!

I have a couple of favorites including 8366. Thats the one that just happened to pop in my head when i was picking my username

Yes, it is an Atlas Dash 8-40CW

Thanks

Thanks! I found it on ebay, It's an Atlas

Maybe that will be the sound system of the future lol...

Yes, I dubbed the sound from a real locomotive.

Great!

@TheThomasSproduction The sound clip you hear is some version of a K5, however, the engine used in the video should have a version of an S3 horn

They are DCC engines and it's all a matter of programming the decoders.

Haha, thanks!

LOL, I have the same sound track! Great job on lining it up right.

No problem!!!!!!!

The sound sound more real than mine! The flashing lights are peretty cool too!

Yup. Harford Community College back in 2008

Thannnnnnk you! lol

nice horn !!!!

do the wig wag lights that are on the front of this locomotive are the also operational on the rear of the locomotive also? wig wags are so cool.

all you need is a 70 car coal train (to me thats long enough) and 3 units weighed down and a DPU in the rear (weighed down).

Hmmm, you're very lucky! Also, maybe I can had find Atlas through in the sites?

43 cars - that was awesome ! Are they all Bowsers ? I have a 75 car coal train. Just love them coal drags !!!

I model the present-day time frame where cabooses on most railroads have been pretty much obsolete for over 20 years in favor of the End-of-Train-device. (Im using an imaginary EOT in the video)

Znakomicie realistyczne!

That's because it IS the sound of a real train dubbed over the video.

Anytime!

Thats a little bit round. About $220 for the engines, approx. $15 each for 43 Bowser hoppers so i figure about $865 for the train. Add in DCC decoders and metal kadee couplers and that number could easily hit $900.

what model horn is that what K5 chime is that?

No, NS 8366 was originally Conrail 6137.

Haha thank you

I agree with you there, but in my eyes (or ears?) theres just something wrong with an ex-Conrail Dash 8 sounding a K5

thanks but, ive never been to alabama. I looked up the video you mentioned and your right, they do look exactly alike. haha

Haha thanks, All i really did was sit the camera on the layout...

Thanks! I just dubbed in the sound from a real train on top of the video i shot...

Man where did you get that sounds? Thats awesome!

The CR unit is an SD50

I'm talking about the engine ,not the horn......wow

It's aleady been explained in the video description...

Damn, I love were your NS CW40-8! Does, NS CW40-8 HO scale model from Atlas?
