I closed my eyes and my ears took over. Sounded like I was standing by the tracks near L&N’s Union Station (Louisville, KY). I have always been a railfan since I rode to the Cincinnati Zoo with my parents as a child in the ’60’s.
Congrats! Great layout, trains, and sounds. I once had an American Flyer layout (8′ x 4′) my uncle built for me as a Christmas gift. Sold it when my parents re-modeled our basement. Worst judgement call ever! Life is full of regrets.
Marx doesn’t need any artificial sound, just close your eyes and listen to the clackity clack of the cars on the track. Best model train sound ever. Thanks for the great video Todd.
Love that tinplate sound!
Very smooth running. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed the video. Good camera work overall and the Marx trains looked good. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for keeping Marx trains up front and visible. Running night trains is something I really enjoy, your camera work made it most enjoyable. Take note CTT we like the classics.
Prototypically loud!
