alcoRS1 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 great little layout, I have to admit, those Atlas QSI do sound good. I have a pair of SD35 with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERROR02 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Chris it is a great scene! but I would reduce a bit the volume of the engine and the bell and it will sound much better. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Phew! Chris, i'm glad you had good control of that loco - it looks perilously close to the end of the layout to me! I take it you had no momentum on the loco! I know where that was filmed! I thought it looked familar and the sight of Mr Hey in the background confirmed that it was at Crewe the other w/e - sorry i didn't come and introduce myself, i was the one in the C&NW green hat on Fairdale sometimes, otherwise wandering and spending!

BRIAN T Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hi All Uploaded a video of my new layout on Youtube The loco (owned by Nick Palette) is an Atlas GP38 fitted QSI sound ,the main reason for DCC on a small layout. Chris Hi Chris great clip of fine little layout , can you give me some info about the sound chip , which specific chip it was ? and the supplier , also was the chip pre-fitted and if it was fitted after ...what problems did Nick have if any............you wouldn't think i wanted one would you :D thanks again regards Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Lovely looking layout, and your loco is wearing probably my favourite of all the liveries across the pond. The composition of the scene is really good - the nice strong diagonal of the road and then the flow of the curved track, with the trees and grain silo (?) balancing at the back. The telegraph poles strung with wire must have been hard work, but well worth it Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a WSOR GP38 which was to be used but I ran out of time to weather it. It's done now and will be used at Northampton on the 28th I'm looking at adding QSI Quatum Revolution chips to anther GP38 and 2 Athearn MP15ac's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Gilbert Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Haston is expanding, I've added about 12 inches to the left hand side just to make switching a little easier. I may add the same to the right-hand side the track is just placed down at the moment.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_long Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 An interesting little addition there, I like the curved board, reckon it would look good if you added a similar board the other end! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
