@Kelunaboy posted:Iʻve been toying with my own O Gauge Shinkansen for a while - just thinking about before falling asleep stage right now. You mentioned the sound, theyʻre not like the Amtrak trains near me moving a 50-70 MPH, quieter, less wheel to track noise and more air stream noise? O Gauge model might sound right if it used rubber wheels.
Yes, it was a shooma, shooma, shooma, zoom kind of sound as it went by. About 3 seconds, I still have the cadence in my head. 2.6 seconds is the time it takes for an 8 car train to pass at 250 KPH/155MPH. The slab track with very few joints has no clickety clack sound.
