Man, that sound is impressive. Seemed to me to be spot on. Great looking layout too. Thanks for sharing.
Are there any drafting too;s for me to design my “O” gauge Lionel Layout??
I really liked your inhanced sound and the layout!
What sounds bad software something definitely wrong here!!

The coordination is on the ball. It gives a realistic sound and gets you in the mood. Thank you.
The sounds were from professionally made recordings and dubbed over the sounds picked up by the video camera.
This makes me want to get back to work on my layout again, and get off of my lazy rear end!
Very nice video. What exactly does "enhanced" involve here? Thank you.
@DOUG HARRIS,
Sound effects in this one were dubbed in over the video. You can tell in some shots (like at 1:22) where the train speeds up but the sounds do not. The audio likely came from a variety of amateur (and not-so amateur) video shot during fantrips, excursions, or any other sort of special move.
I made a suggestion to an HO scaler on YouTube who was using the same tactic with intermodal trains on a club modular layout. Since he had enough rolling stock to make prototypical-length trains, I suggested he build a train with the exact same consist of cars as the one in the video he sourced his audio from, That way he could get the rail-joint noises to match the cars passing by in the model shot.
Fantastic sound! I had to restrain my self from jumping out of the way when I first saw/heard the loco heading at me! Great whistle.
Hi all. I'd be interested to know how these sounds are generated – are they electronic, or from some other source?
Also I'm looking for sound files of the side-rod clank. Anyone help?? Many Thanks.
