Might be worth considering removing the mirror and using a photo backdrop instead. The trade off of the highway looking a bit awkward at the backdrop would be more than offset by not seeing Devil’s slide reflected in the mirror. You could also use a tree line at the front of the highway to hide the transition to the backdrop as well.

I have my Loksounds set up so one function turns on the head light, another the ditch lights (operates front and rear if the respective headlights are on). One more dims the lights and turns off the ditch lights. Once a train is set up you only need the dim function for meets, running in yards etc. It is the only lighting function set up in my withrottle game controllers.

Could be worth buying a Lokprogrammer so you can buy blank decoders and put in the required sounds. Also good for updating decoders with the latest firmware or sounds, the original SD70ACE project didn't sound good, but the updated project sounded far better.

Glad you and or KZbin could get the problem figured out. I’ve seen other KZbinrs with the same issue. So I’m watching your update much later now. I happened to be one of the first few that tuned in when you were having the initial glitch/problem. Was sorry to see Roy Smith pass away. You probably knew him since he was modeling the same area, but in N Scale and he had a bedroom layout. He had supply issues from time to time since he was living in Panama. I have enjoyed both layouts and after being away from the hobby for 30 years, I hope to get my track plan completed and benchwork up going in my 13’ by 22’ area of my basement soon. Thanks for the updates. Enjoyed the Geneva Sub too.

For your camera car use screencast. This mode will let you stream whatever is on your phone screen or whatever is on your pc desktop. Best consisting method is decoder based advanced consisting.
