We had VERY limited time, but @TheeFishGuy brought his G Scale Union Pacific Big Boy to run on my layout. I hope I can get my mountain built before his next trip. That big boy would look sweet coming out of a tunnel portal!

That’s awesome! I love how the G Scale community is so inviting to people from different parts of the U.S.

We all are very welcoming. I've had folks from Germany here. I was hoping my friend from Australia could make it by this time, but he didn't have time.

It really wasn't that bad at all. We were only worried about the boiler swing, but it wasn't even close.

Is the Big Boy using track or battery? Did you install a wireless operating system and if so which?
@southernillinoisgscale82069 ай бұрын
This big boy is battery power. This is not mine though, it's @TheeFishGuy big boy. I'm pretty sure he put railpro in it. This is my layout and it's all dead rail. Most of the layouts around here are. Revolution is is the most popular wireless controller with Railpro second. There are a small handful of guys using airwire or blunami.

@@southernillinoisgscale8206 Thanks for the info. Would like to get one with battery and a wireless. I am one of the handful (Blunami).

@@Michael-yl2iq I'm not a fan of blunami. I don't want to have to use a cell phone to control it. I think it's range is about as bad as Railpro too. That being said, I will have rail pro in my next two engines that should be here any time now. Are you close to RLD Hobbies?
@Michael-yl2iq8 ай бұрын
@@southernillinoisgscale8206 I can use my phone, but generally use my iPad. The grandkids use their own phones. As far as range I have not had any issue yet. You can set it to shut down or continue on current settings when signal is lost. If it is just out on a far loop, will just reestablish like nothing happened. I like the sounds choices on Blunami for my steam locomotives (which is all I run). I live in Tennessee, so not real close to RLD Hobbies. But I do buy online from RLD.

@@Michael-yl2iq You are correct on the steam sounds. The steam sounds on railpro are awful. I personally do not have any steam engines. Maybe one day. haha. My family lives in Tennessee and I have several friends there too. Small world!

are those the same bridge designs or materials as Andy has on his GRR? just wondering.

Yep. I got those from Andy. I cut them down to narrow them to a g scale width.
