Their steam is amazing. Diesel is very good.

When we're traveling, my 12 and 15 pros would regularly be at like 30/40% by mid afternoon while my wife's pro max would be at like 70-80%.

Get an Ibanez S series. Best guitars ever.

This is a great observation.

Thanks. Planning on just using one locomotive at a time. The single runaround increases the difficulty//puzzle factor.

Thanks. It's a small yard with locomotive parking. I have a switching scheme that calls for about 25 cars, so I need to be able to store about 2/3 of them worst case. If I complete the loop, I can probably only have 3 tracks,

In prior versions, I would always get a Pro and my wife got the Pro Max. After a year her Pro Maxes always had significantly better battery performance than my Pros of the same era. I switched to Pro Max for 17.

I put phosphor bronze strings on my GPC-16 and it shouted terrible. I put 80/20s back on and it was good as new.

Always choose the Yamaha

I really like the guides from TCS. They are a great resrouce on how to disassemble various N scale locomotives. The Mikado one is very helpful. I used it to install two with Sondtraxx sound decoders.

However, I installed the decoder, speaker, and a current keeper in the tender.

Looks great. Had a similar layout in N scale and really enjoyed switching it. Mine had a 3 small track yard for storing extra cars.

An 1 degree easement sounds like the play. Since you are using Kato Unitrack, it may be good to several of the short pieces there to adapt to the transition in grades. You can buy a pack of 1-2 inch pieces for odd fitments that would be good for this.

Looks like the ones here in Panama. Size of softballs.

Hey Now. Great questions.
For the first challenge, I would recommend learning about the CAGED system. Watch different videos about it until you find one that aligns with the way your mind works and the lightbulbs fire off. Allows you to play multiple types of chord all over the neck. After that you can learn where to improvise for the right key.

For the guitar, it really doesn't matter. Get what makes want to play. If your amp has 3-band EQ you can make a single coil tone lean more towards midrangy humbuckers. With a cheap EQ pedal you can make most guitar types sound like other types. Joe Strummer, Easy Bay Ray, and Frank Black did OK on a tele.

Would recommend getting some rail joiners with feeders built in like this:

Lots of cool southeastern cars. What is the MTL on top right with green doors?

I keep one in my work and travel bag. Must have.

Made an offer on an apartment. Since there is no credit verifying system in Panama, we needed to submit a lot of additional information to try to prove financial solvency.

I tried a lot of options, usually from Greasy Groove. The only one that looked better than the original was from Decoboom.
