Jim Dufour layout - great episode!
I just watched the current episode featuring Jim Dufour's layout - and I wanted to say "Well done!" to both Jim and Barry for bringing such a great layout to the show. I really enjoyed the segment. I loved hearing about the prep for the open house and it was great to see the connection between railfan George Corey's vintage photos and how Jim has reproduced the scenes on the layout.
Great stuff: Please, bring us more layouts like this one!

IAIS 250 sounds off
My model of Iowa Interstate’s SW1200 250 just got a sound upgrade. It has a Loksound Select decoder and I had been using ESU’s 16 cylinder 567 prime mover sound. But ESU recently released a 12 cylinder 567 which is a perfect fit for the engine.
The sound is incredible. Since the 250 is my layout’s primary locomotive, having the correct prototypical sound is very important. The 12 cylinders have a nice throaty chant that ESU captured well.
If interested, you can hear the sound at:
