PS-2 TWO BAY HOPPER VIDEO #1 INTRODUCTION

[@154Colin]

I am glad that you went to O-Scale because you are so indepth with your details that you were probably getting very frustrating. In reference to the 3-D printer, by the time you read this you’ll probably have all lot of experience already with your machine. It is quite liberating knowing that you have total control over what you design and print. I can I am so glad they are going to O-Scale.

Thank you. Everything you stated is correct. I still have to do some considerable rework, although the rework is much more manageable. With 3D printing, I can control the quality and fidelity of the parts I need. So yes. I am very happy too.

Why not do both Brian? - You can "fine scale" model and build a nice little Proto 48 (Shelf) Layout, with one short line (siding) spur, with weathered ties and scale rail @ 10' by 16" inches for running and displaying your finescale models. Imagine your beautiful sounding Geep crawling through the frog and points while shoving in a squealing Boxcar to a small two car industry with a .5 percent grade. 😁

I have been giving this a lot of thought over the last couple weeks. I have a hard time just getting to the convincing myself to build the layout. I fall heavily on the side of simply building models. I enjoy that part of it a lot.

This is HO/P:87, but shows a simple shelf with under-the-layout subwoofer to enhance the sound. Sound is as directly recorded by the camera mic, but seems a lot louder in the vid than in-person. Easily scalable to P:48. Anyways just something similar to Boomer's suggestion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5zVimBqe7aeb9E

BTW also more fun with the ProtoThrottle ;)

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Are you going to finish the caboose or is that swept aside since it’s HO?

[@6axlepwr]

Caboose will be finished. I am currently back on my HO projects. for the caboose I have to get over my procrastination on painting all the metal hand grabs.

Wow I thought I was good for rebuilding a E&C shops ho woodchip car from the 90's. Do you have any experience with working with a airslide Hopper? Tangent or Walthers? With Walthers a little more work o well love rebuilding an customizeing I model Seaboard System in ho

[@6axlepwr]

I do not. I think eventually I will. Your talking about the larger car. Not the 40' car. If memory serves me correct. I think there is one out at the North Carolina Museum of Transportation. A few cars down from the PS-2 I am measuring.
