I recently bought a new microphone for my camera, and I figured I’d find out how well it handles loud noises (like train whistles) before I publish anything with it. So last Sunday, we made a trip to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad to chase the National Park Scenic. The mic performed great and we’re ready for action!
In addition, on Saturday, I had my first work session with the American Steam Railroad and Reading T1 no. 2100, and it was quite an experience. During this work session, we were able to get the bell and bracket mounted back onto the locomotive!
We still need to do work on the clapper mechanism, since some of the parts have damage and we need to find a working actuator. I’ll have a full-length video of the work to share with you next week!
