I work in a Hobby shop we did the calculations and it turns out the store is 1.5 miles front to back in HO scale. When we can hear "cab chatter" that far a way, we know it's too loud! Welcome back, great video!
Enjoyed the video presentation. Your methodology is always spot on. Your formula for success must be: Plan, Plan, Plan, Plan some more, Plan and then Do! 😂
Dear Dave, great addition to the Bandit Canyon Railroad! On the single wall wart; considering these boards only produce ambient audio, I can’t imagine the capacity of the system may surpass the amps the adapter can feed. The only thing that could be influenced is the sinus wave of the amplifier, which could add a background noise. But with such a small system I don’t think it would become an issue nor audible. On the solid wire extension for the audio cables to the speakers. As you said stranded wire is better, it simply has a lower resistance because of the fact such wire consists of more surface. However, the gauge of the original speaker wires is much smaller, plus the length of the cable is so short that it shouldn’t make a difference. Looking forward to the next episodes and progress on the Bandit Canyon! Cheerio
I like the sounds you picked for this layout. This is going to be fun watching you finish this layout. Thanks for sharing this sound system. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
Regarding using one power supply on both circuit boards, you should be fine as long as the power supply can handle the amperage usage from both boards.
Hi. I love Jim Wells’ sound system and effects. My friend Steve won one of his systems when the “High Street” diorama won something at the Narrow Gauge Convention a couple of years ago. But he never sent for it! Cause he’s sorta stopped modeling. At least no layouts anymore. I digress. He should get it! They are amazing! So many people don’t do background sound effects. When done correctly they really bring good things to life! I build my own systems, but I’ve looked at Jim’s. If I weren’t building my own I’d be buying his. And great effects library too! About the upcoming train event. We were planning to show up a couple of years ago or last year? It’s all a blur. World’s smallest train show! When is it? Where? Riverside right? Anyway sounds like fun!!!!! Hope you are well!! ❤🚀🚀🚀🚀🚂
Glad to see you....was worried!! If you have a really tight budget like mine...I am using free sounds of the net and small bluetooth speakers.....not as nice as Pro sound....but works. thx
Great video! You're giving me ideas... hmmm.... No reason to not use the same power supply as long as the overall amperage draw isn't more than it can supply.
When you connected the speakers, did you make sure to hook them up in phase? This would have been easier if you’d gone with an additional colour along with the green (say green/brown).
Phase is less important on a background system. For music from two speakers sure! But I’ve even revised on purpose!! Point the speakers in opposite directions! It can make the sound less directional. More surround ish. This is how “fake surround bars” work. They inject phase shift to make the stereo sound like 5.1. Try and see! But no rules when doing BG sounds. 🚂🚂🚂🚀
Hi again. Looking into the tang band t1 2025sc speakers. Hard to find! Expensive too. Not on Amazon. Where do you buy them? $34 each? Parts express. $60 at Walmart Walmart? Anyway they are good? Looking at bagging one to mess with.
