Everytime I see an 0 gauge loco, I'm always even more tempted to sell my 00 to go into 0. Really like the sound profile on the 50 as well, sounds like the real thing. Keep up the good work with your garden railway Mike and stay safe to you and the team

Hello - Does this Zimo decoder have the cv27 & cv59 for programming shuttle routes?

[TomCouchmanMUSICchannel]

Wait! Why is that loco on narrow gauge rails?

I’ve been in O gauge model railroading sinceI was 3, According to my parents ! I’ve always been a big fan of Lionell and 1/48 scale Modeling ! I’m watching you guys and I’m seeing you run your O gauge trains (“outdoors”), now the “question is” this is it a real 1/48 scale O gauge or is it more like the Märklín 1 gauge ? Meant for running trains outside like in the USA we use G gauge or garden railroading but with the ability to run it at 1.20 scale or 1/39 scale Some custom jobs come up to 1/29 scale allowing them to use 1/24 and 1/25 scale cars and building ! But O gauge ??? I’d be afraid of the Electricity alone ! I know the garden-railways have A from of mechanisms and sometimes even have radio control with their own motors that run under their own power !!!! So how can you get away with running a O gauge, even if it is 2-rail, outdoors ? The minute it rains you’re done and come winter I’ve seen one gentleman here in the United States who built a scratch built power snowblower that he would attach to the front of his locomotive and he would be able to clear the ice and snow enough to run his completely out in the middle of winter but then again he used specific parts and specific trains !?!?!
