Alcanman Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi, Â Having read Lance Mindheim's excellent new book 'How to operate a Modern Era switching layout' and learnt much about US switching operations, I was inspired to produce a new video. Â Also thought I'd try out my new U-Boat which has excellent slow speed control and seems to have more in built inertia than my other 2 locos. Â Hope you like it.

doctor quinn Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi Mal, Â A great way to "waste" 7:26! Â I never realised how quiet & genteel "U Boats" sounded. Â Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigZ Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi Mal,  A great way to "waste" 7:26!  I never realised how quiet & genteel "U Boats" sounded.  Nick  NIck, here's a couple of vids that might change your mind  The U boats and -7s had a real bark to the exhaust when working hard...they were wonderful.

F-UnitMad Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Mal I wish you'd stop it.... Â Stop filming a real place and trying to pass it off as a model railway layout...!!! Honestly - you're not fooling anyone, y'know..!!! Â Seriously - the only thing missing is a model Conductor running around throwing the turnouts and pulling the couplings! Other than that, the superlatives are running out.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks for the kind comments guys, much appreciated. Â I'm simply hoping to demonstrate that a small layout can be great fun and easy to build. Â Craig - loved the videos, wish my U-Boat sounded like that. The first video had me fooled, as the units emerged from the tunnel, I thought it was a model video! Â I've obviously spent far to much time editing my own video, now I'm confusing prototype with model videos! Â Â regards, Â Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
