Hi mine is making same thing noise when it deliver the ice

Hi Mike, here in Western Australia many years ago there was a story in the paper. Some folks had a big fire and lost everything and no insurance. So dad called up and offered a new large fridge for no cost. Anyway they rolled up in their big American style mobile home. Dad let them have the fridge but has never given anything to folks again to help. I only help close family, kids and their kids.

Thanks for this video. I saw some very much like these, costing $8 for sale at Aldi, and was trying to decide if they're worth buying. Considering how well they work and the fact that they're about half the price of the ones you bought, I'd say they are.

🤠👋🚂💭

Mike, I’m interested in adding ambient sound to various areas on my layout. Have you ever done this?

the plumb bob is genius.

Hi Mike, I've come somewhat late to the party. I'm truly sorry for your loss. The gift of the blanket was a lovely gesture from your friend. Around the time this video came out, we N Scalers also lost Roy Smith. He was someone I counted as a friend even though I am in England and he was in Panama. Sometimes we have to take a step back Mike, for personal reasons. We can't always be going through life at 100 miles per hour and not expect to get burned out. You hang in there Buddy. I hope since you made this video you are feeling somewhat better, and I hope your desert temperatures are starting to become more a manageable Autumn climate. Andy

Replacement of switches is one of the jobs I like the least Mike. I usually have to walk away two or three times before accomplishing my work. Andy

I'm using the Peco N scale turntable with the Locomotech motor connected to a decoder. It operates very smoothly but the problem is, it's hard to line up the tracks spot on as the decoder will slightly over run the exact spot where you need to stop. I would much prefer a setup like this using the turntable's own controller, rather than using my Digitrax controller. Thanks for your video.

Mike I had a similar situation where I had to change out a turnout with ballasted track at each end. I did not want to disturb the ballasted track and I had little room to lift the adjoining track. My solution was to cut our the offending turnout and then install the new turnout and take thin strips of brass and solder these on the outside of each rail. I made sure the track was absolutely aligned both horizontally and vertically before soldiering on the strips. This worked fine and I never had a problem with mis-aligned track or derailment. This method was used in-lieu of trying to slip on track connectors. Almost the same as connectors bars used in 1:1 railroad track.

Hey Mike what brand and scale is the Texaco station?

I really enjoyed this one Mike. Thank you

Some nice goodies....

I like that idea of scenicing that area for staging.

Nice car Mike and acgreat video update

Love the Halloween car! Lots of neat stuff in 3d print too! loved the video and the gas station is very cool! Have a great Sunday!! and a great week ahead!!

Mike, it's a long way from Australia to you but love your genuine love of our hobby and your store as well.

Love the Halloween car and 3D printed loads and models 👌 great job

mike i need the connectors for the KATo Senor tracks. what are the connectors called so i cna make the cables.

Really enjoyed this one Mike. So glad that you are back.

Hey Mike. Thanks for the update. 👍🏻 I have limited experience with True Color, but I did use some for a locomotive In custom painted and had a very good experience there. I would.use them again.

Very nice 3D printed models. Great update and thanks for sharing. Dave

Always enjoy your videos. I especially like the Texaco stuff because my father used to have a Texaco bulk plant back in the late 40's to mid 50's.

Cool new products Mike, will check out there site. Bob

Another great video Mike! Really love the Texaco gas station great job!

That Halloween car is impressive. I would be cool if we could light some buildings like that.

Hi Mike…I’ll have to check out their web site I need some detail parts. thanks for sharing. I love the Micro Trains Halloween car , fun looking car, can’t believe we’re at Halloween already ! Take care … Joe

Neat Halloween car. Nice update Mike....John

For being so small the 3D printed items really show a lot of detail. Must be a great printer and lots of time drawing the parts to print. Painting those items would be a good video to see.

great looking Halloween car ! lots of fun ! you got that new switch in place and it seems to work fine. But don't ballast the working parts of it. Or just add a very small amount of gravel to cover the ground. That way you will have less problems with them. thanks for the video !

they also own phoenix models, and they are great also. I use a lot of tru color spray paints, they dry quickly, and are excellent.

tru color makes a lot of paint, the acetone dries a lot faster, Martin does a great job, have known them from their freight yard days.

Great update Mike! I do enjoy the Tru Color paints! Those 3D castings looked great, nice offerings! Great work on the gas station Mike! (Dave).

We carry True Color at the shop I work at, we sell a ton of it too, we have every color too, since Scalecoat went out of business this is our number 1 seller for paint

Everytime My Wife and I go to our First Show There is a Person Who Runs A Halloween Train in N Scale and We May See It Again.

That was really fun! Thanks, Mike!

Hey! Wait a minute! It’s not Sunday! And has it really been weeks since your last update? LOL. Thanks for the update. That is a very large battery in that Halloween car. Interesting paints. N scale 3D printed items are always amazing. That half track is very cool. Nice little garage. Not a lot of garages on the market. The Texaco station is awesome. See ya. Have fun at the car show.

Lot of fantastic items, love the Halloween car. The Texaco gas station looks fabulous. Looking forward to seeing more updates

love it

Hi Mike, I find that your video for ballasting your track very straightforward and easy to follow. However, I see unlike other experts you don’t apply white glue to side of the Kato track base before you start the ballast process! So I’m wondering is there a reason for this? Thank Brian

Nice update Mike. I feel your pain on being so busy. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Mike, don't worry about us we will all be here. Real life comes first. Thanks for the update.

Hi Mike, I enjoy all your train videos, you do what you need to do. We are blessed to have you and to see your layout, it is very encouraging and beautiful. Please keep posting. But your Wife and family come first, we true followers will wait.

Look good around the shop and yard area....Keep poking at it. Bob

Great update on progress Mike…..John

Thanks for the video, would like to know how you will free the glued turnout , water it a bit and vacuum ? You will be a busy man for the next month , have fun at the lake !!!!! Take care !!!

Mike…. Layout and scrap yard is looking great, nice work ! Take care….. Joe

Short but good progress. That is an interesting gravel product. I was not familiar with it - I'll have to take a look. Always find your scenery work inspirational.

👍👍👍👍

Another great update Mike, looking sweet! Have a wonderful week! (Dave).
