Those three or four wires you see protruding from the end of each wing's trailing edge are made for this, they're the so called _Static Dischargers._

Hi Jim I have an idea for a layout if you have enough track Round the concrete path in the back yard Through the side gate Round the front yard and through the other gate And then if you have enough track it could go into the garage

This is a great review! I have a verity of Model Train Scales. And most of them are affordable and or expensive they all are Nice Equipment, Trains, cars, rolling stock, track etc. some of them are Starter sets. I have a grand total of 11,340$ of various Model Trains and Scales. And a 15Ft HO layout, which is worth 5,000$ I’ve been collecting for 8 years started off at 210$ when I got my first Model Train set,Such a great hobby. -Jordan Marquez

The cabins are higher priced on deck 3 that 2, even though they are the same, because the view is slightly better from higher up. It does look like a retirement home, the dining room has no pictures on the walls, very bland and boring. No cabin views though. Thx

Hello Jim from England, for newbies, explaining what DCC for model trains are and what it does,the sets look cool!
@JimZim
@JimZim 10 күн бұрын
Hi Nigel I thought about going in to more details about DCC, but decided to keep it out of the video for simplicity's sake... since an explanation of DCC gets complicated. However, I can give you a little more information here, one on one. The $199 train set operates using the same method that model trains have been using for over a hundred years. This is where the speed of the train is controlled by the amount of voltage sent out to the train, from the power supply, through the tracks. To stop a train, just send no voltage to the tracks. To start a train, start sending some voltage out to the tracks. To make the train go faster, send more voltage. This is called an analog model train control system. If you put two locomotives on the layout and start sending voltage out to the tracks, both trains will go. In the 1990s, a totally new way of controlling trains was developed, and that was DCC. Voltage sent out to the tracks is constant. Locomotives that are equipped with DCC have electronics that allow you to program that locomotive with a unique number. So, for example, if you have two locomotives on your layout, you can assign one locomotive to be #1 and the other to be #2. On a DCC control system, before you tell a locomotive to do something, you have to specify which locomotive you want the command sent to. So, for example, you can command locomotive #1 to go forward at a slow speed. This command only goes to locomotive #1, so it will start moving but the other locomotive will not. Then you could tell locomotive #2 to go backwards at fast speed, and for the whistle to blow. The point is that with DCC you can control each locomotive on your layout independently. There are also ways with DCC that you can control your trains from your cell phone, tablet, or desktop computer. It opens up a whole world of possibilities. Analog trains like the $199 set can't do those things. To make DCC work, a locomotive must be equipped with DCC, and you must have a power supply and control system that are equipped with DCC. The power supply and red controller of the $199 train set are analog. They are not capable of powering or running DCC locomotives. Also, the yellow locomotive in the $199 system is analog, and is not equipped with DCC. So, even if you bought a DCC power supply and control system, you wouldn't be able to use that yellow locomotive with it. So, in the video when I was talking about how the $199 system was expandable, and I said that "you could add a DCC control system later, if you ever wanted to", I probably should have also said "but be aware that you would also have to add a locomotive that was equipped with DCC, too". In other words, the track can handle DCC and the gondola and dump cars would work with DCC, but if you owned this train set and wanted to upgrade to DCC it would require both a new locomotive and a new power supply & control system. See why I didn't explain all that in the video?!?! ha ha

@JimZim
@JimZim 10 күн бұрын
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. I don't know if you're asking me if this yellow locomotive could be converted to DCC, or if you're asking about the terminology to look for when shopping for a locomotive to be used on a DCC system, or perhaps you're asking something else entirely.

@JimZim
@JimZim 10 күн бұрын
Oh, now I understand. Here in the USA we would use the term "DCC Ready" to indicate that a locomotive does NOT have DCC installed but that you can purchase an additional component at any time that could be installed to make the locomotive capable of running on a DCC system. If the locomotive is fully capable of running on a DCC system without needing any further modification, we would say that it has DCC installed or we might just describe it as being a DCC locomotive.
