@fForney Like I said - it must be a hoot!!!!! I have to wonder if they shot the movie "Gremlins" at this club...they do seem to have a whole munch of them on the layout!!!
If you can, you really ought to get the I Love Toy Trains "Oh no" sound effect for these. And for the freight cars that run on two tracks at the same time, you should try playing Dale Earnhardt Jr's "Slide job!" comment.
You'll be surprised to how expensive these little accidents are! Most engines range for about 200-400 bucks! I crashed a $200 engine once, and that was a $30 handrail replacement!
@@hoscalemadness most of the model trains I have to date were bought used at model train shows and stores with used items for sale. My family had financial difficulties when I was growing up so only a portion of my model trains were bought new. My first train set is a Tyco HO Chattanooga set and the company went out of business before I was born. I still have that set today thanks to my dad keeping it safe.
That’s some of the sketchiest track work I’ve ever seen! That’s what you get when you use Atlas products! If you’re going to wreck everything you might as well collect and run Tyco and Bachmann.
There’s definitely some trackwork issues there. I saw at least two ties nailed in too far, which can affect gauge. That derailment at the turnout near the end looks like it has a bad gap and I can’t help but wonder of some of the cars have trip pin height issues. And the camera car falling over could merely be top heavy.
So one thing I suggest is cut off those little curved wire on the couplers to stop them hitting the crossing, those arent really needed since you probably dont have magnet uncouplers.
So cool! I’m working on my own layout with my dad I have a grass mat and a station and Thomas and James from Thomas and freinds and the Santa Fe also a couple cars by cars I mean train cars
