[@manueljdaskalos]

That has to be the most natural/realistic-sounding n scale steam locomotive I have ever heard.

Hello, I just bought the sound-equipped 4445 from Tony's on the strength of this review. Thanks!

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Thanks for your message, we really appreciate it. Enjoy your new loco! All the best from Australia!

Hi guys. I have this beautiful set. Not DCC/sound however. It certainly sounded awesome. So, you guys deal with Tony’s? Just curious, from purchase to being at your door, how long does that take? A month? Thanks in advance for your reply. See ya next time.

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Thanks Norman for watching and for your comment. Yes it is beautiful and it sounds very good indeed! All the process took around 2 months, not bad at all! Kind regards

I see quite substantial wobbling and bobbing of just the locomotive while running, but not the tender or passenger cars. Are there any bent axles or non-concentric drive wheels on your locomotive? I wouldn't be compelled to purchase one with that much wobbling, despite how beautiful it looks standing still.

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Hi, we are aware of the issue, but aren't too sure as to why it does this as of yet. Our KATO Union Pacific #844 has the same issues, so it may be a manufacturer fault or occurs when the locomotive is pulling substantial weight. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and your question.

im having so trouble getting my rear light to work on this install on my GS-4 the 2 solder points I am connected to are U+ connected to the positive lead on the 1206 SMD and Rearlight connected to the negative with a resistor inline am i doing something wrong? or do i have to turn on rear lighting on the decoder? thanks for any help you can offer

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Thanks for watching and for your question. I will check my model in a few days and see if I can help you. Thanks again

[@clank_sinatra]

im a lionel and bachman guy, ive been looking at this model, and i was wondering how you can run it without a controller.

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Thanks for watching and for your question. I use a DCC controller to run it.

[@clank_sinatra]

@@UnionPacificAustralia awsome! thankyou

[@clank_sinatra]

@@UnionPacificAustralia do you know if a batchman e-z industries dcc comand controller would work with this model?

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

@@clank_sinatra No problems, happy to help!

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

@@clank_sinatra Yes, any DCC controller will work. Thanks!

I wsish that the domestic (in Japan) Kato train sets could be sold here in North America and elswhere in the world fully translated into English or other languages, and shown in KZbin videos like these (and with the same sound cards installed in them) to show people what modern _advanced_ railway systems are like (one of the reasons, IMHO, why passenger rail has a hard time being liked here in North America is partly because of nearly every model railway set made by a domestic North American manufactuer always being freight rail or old passenger trains like these; if moden bullet train sets and [Japanese] commuter rail sets were sold here, people would like passenger rail travel a lot more than they do now.)

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Thanks a lot for watching the video and for your comment! All the best from Australia!

[@Neville60001]

@@UnionPacificAustralia, stupid question, but how does one install a soundcard, and also, how does one _program_ a soundcard?

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

@@Neville60001 Hi, you can install a decoder in this loco or send it to a professional to do it. But if you want sound I will recommend to buy it factory installed. It will be cheaper. Thanks

[@chap_1024]

Wait a minute that start of the video that's illegal sp with up cars

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Yes, you are correct! Thanks for watching.

It’s his railroad. Let him do what he wants

[@DietPizza1]

The loose rear trailing truck is annoying, pops off all the time

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Thanks for watching and for your comment.

[@bobkohl6779]

Wrong consist. The Daylighter was Southern Pacific

[@UnionPacificAustralia]

Thanks for your comment. Yes you are correct. On that day we had only the UP set to demonstrate this loco power. Now we the have the SP set and the railroad people are happy! Thanks again
