It just keeps getting better, Ray.😲 Love your updates!🤗 Thank you (and the commenters) for the info on speakers, great and small, hi and lo - very useful/helpful info. 🚂Lawrence
That's awesome to see someone modeling the Bessemer RR. As a kid I lived just a few blocks away from the Bessemer yard. As kids we would ride our bikes up too the yard and watch them put together trains. During summer it was really cool because we kept our windows open & you could hear trains coming in & out all night long. When school was in session when the yard wasn't crowded we would cut thru there to get home when we got off the bus. Greg
@karenhumes8689 awesome! I have a picture or two where they were burying the bridges at plum creek. I've never seen where (or why) they were removed, so, there's trestles under that dirt! Kinda cool.
Awesome progress on the layout! Already a first OPS - time flies fast...Regarding your sound dilemma, here's your solution: use both the Tang Band and the iPhone speaker in the same unit. Yeah I know, you'll say duh, but hear me out. Build a low-pass and a high-pass filter for the speakers. It's a simple RC network, couple of parts each, and it'll keep the bass on the Tang Band and the treble on the iPhone. You might even have the resistors and caps lying around...just figure out the cut-off frequency and voila.😃
I thought so, I bought that kit with three extra center sections just waiting for me to start building, way too late to take it back. I will let you know how mine turns out. Thanks, Gary
Holy cow. That's a lot of F units... Have you tried any scale sound system speakers? I played with a lot of different speakers myself and I've found those to give the best balance of good base, good high end, and overall the clarity of sound is magnificent. I feel you on getting ready for the ops session, I've got "the big one" coming up myself.
I did my first scale sound just recently in a rapido u25. It's pretty good, but it lacks the big presence of the tang band, and I think the I phone speakers are still my favorite small speaker solution. That being said, I'm definitely not taking the scale sound out! And it may have a home for me in limited space installs.
I-phone speaker and tcs dcc is my go to set up. The Tang-Band speaker is my other love affair, posts express has them. The only thing is they're huge. Dummy b unit or steam with BIG tenders only.
