John's posts of late on the other fourm seem different than his usual jovial self.Where's John (CSXT30)? Working, I'll bet.

Frank53: Looks like you're using 1/2" or 3/4" foam...Can you tell me why you're not just going with the 2"?
Thanks,

CHUCK, I too agree 100% with you about the other forum. I go on but some people just turn my stomach. This is great here. I still look on there but won't post as much.Kurt......John is not the only one who " is not his usual jovial self " on the other Forum. That place has become a " not so fun " place, anymore.

CHIEF, had the same problem with mine. Now it is better. Thanks for the heads up on that one.LAZ, several of us are concerned about the Big Boy's whistle sound at med low speeds. Sounds like it is breaking up or sputtering. Well, I finally read the instruction booklet. Go to the back part about sound adjustment. Aux 1, aux 2, 4 only two clicks and it will cut chuffing sound and leave whistle at full sound. The chuffing was over running the whistle. Now it will sound a lot better. Also, aux 1, aux 2, 9, H [in the momentum setting area], aux 2 will push the smoke to max. I mean she will smoke.
Jim F. I would guess John S is working. Sent me some great pictures of layout expansion.
