Milwaukee Road Beer Line Transfer Power 2

[@daviddryden8088]

The sound alone is worth the price of admission. I love the near flawless speed control. Proof that a layout doesn't have to be huge to be enjoyable.

@@daviddryden8088 thanks! I set up my speed curve and acceleration/deacceleration from cues taken from Wil Sampson on his Soo/The Milwaukee Road. And yes, Tsunami2 has really nailed non-turbo EMDs!

[@beerlinemodeler]

I agree. I've had this layout for 10 years now. Still enjoying it!

I´m very happy I invested the 30mins to watch your video 🙂Great operations, great locos with amazing sound and beautiful details to be found on your layout!

Nice, John. The GP9's look and sound great. Excellent job on the spark arrestors. Thanks! Mike

@@rimodeler7963 thanks Mike!

[@Mark-jl6tl]

Excellent!! The scenery is very nice, the weathering on the rolling stock and structures is wonderful, and the sound is extremely nice. Very convincing!!

Nice job John.

A nice selection of cars to be switched and that was a flashback when I first saw the multi-mark CP scheme on the newsprint cars. Far and away that is the most realistic sounding GP9 I've heard. Even though it usually was F units I do remember a few GP9s making a quick turn if they were short on power. Good old 316 that unit was a regular on both the local going up to Plymouth and also on the trains to Green Bay as I worked trackside just north of Canco. Great video!

@@paulbergen9114 thank you! You’re lucky you got to witness the MILW in action!

[@DaveBirkett-o4w]

Good work.

[@richardbolt4237]

fantastic video and layout

[@stevenseguine9447]

Nice video. What sound is in the F-M units?

[@beerlinemodeler]

It's Tsunami2 with dual sugar cube speakers from Athearn Genesis.

[@FKHTrump2024]

Is that Soundtraxx sound? Sounds great

[@beerlinemodeler]

Yes, it's all Tsunami2. All the engines in this set of videos (3 more to come yet) are all Tsunami2. I do love their EMD sound.

[@FKHTrump2024]

@ that’s what I thought I only use Tsunami2 on everything and love it

[@TheGomes412]

Great scene. What time era are you modeling?

[@beerlinemodeler]

Basically 1969. Give or take a little time either way. I like that time right up before Amtrak, just as the railroads are starting to modernize but there is still a lot of the past holding on, especially with operations.

[@JosephMusgrove]

The number boards on the side of the locomotive are interesting. Unique to the MR?

[@beerlinemodeler]

@@JosephMusgrove yes, on dynamic brake units.
