Da'Bobs N-Scale Mancave

Da'Bobs N-Scale Mancave

Da'Bobs N Scale ManCave is centered around my love of Model Railroading and some of my other hobbies. The Man Cave is currently expanding into a whole house layout. The N-Scale train mainline is on a shelf that is 7-1/2 inches from the ceiling to the track. A 15 layer helix connects the mainline down to the staging yard and 18 stall roundhouse.
This channel explores my modeling process as I expand the layout into the other rooms in the house. I will make mistakes and I will show you those as well as the successes.
I occasionally do product reviews of N Scale train products and other items worthy of a review. I visit prototype museums and model train shows to show you what I found there in case you couldn't go. I also show you how I made something like bench work, electrical, scratch building, etc.
Thanks for checking out Da'Bobs N-Scale ManCave.

    Hi Bob, It was great meeting you at the show. I see you even got the back of my head at the Auction 😂🤣Because of my work schedule, usually I'm only able to attend the Altoona N scale weekend on Saturday,. It's a great N Scale show and if you're in the Area Bob, stop in, you'll never know what little treasure you'll find at the show. Not sure if I can attend next years show yet, but maybe I'll see you in Kansas City next year. Cheers, Rich S.

    Very awesome to see this show again, I attended the show back in 2011 while I was in Broomfield for work. I'll probably drive out from Calif next year for the show and demo the MRC Nexxt system (one product is off for FCC testing, next is heading out to users very soon, third will be heading out to testers likely in June)

    Bob, what an excellent review. I just purchased"GE Tier 4 GEVO Canadian National ET44AC Military Heritage SXT33636. Dcc with sound. It says in the manual if you press horn when ditch lights are ON they should flash. Mine doesn't do that like yours does. Is this feature railway specific or what I should do?

  • @DaBobsNScaleMancave
    @DaBobsNScaleMancave3 ай бұрын

    It is most likely railroad specific programming, some companies do not want the lights to flash when the horn blows, some do.

An E8 2402. And the pair of Kato RDCs. These are rare to find in the midwest. I hope to ride this train one day!

    Hello Sir, I agree with you that this set is really nice looking. I was hoping for a little more detail, like, for instance, if the doors were functional, that tiny bit of detail could make at least a small difference. With that said, would you think that if the paint issue wasn't the main problem, MicroTrains could have maybe stepped up their game, and it would be a better quality built product. One other thing I need to know about my problem is with the knuckle couplers on different cars. Is it true for all rail cars they should have compatible couplers so I don't have to break the bank making sure that all my cars of different brands will have the same style couplers? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan

    Well the STEEL set came out a long time ago, MTL has made major improvements with their newer models and tooling. The autorack molds have not been updated since this set was made, no manufacturer I have seen lately makes the doors on the ends move, that would be cool if they did someday.
