posted this on youtube awhile ago. But thought I would share it here since I haven't put anything up in a while about the layout. Winter is coming and with it, model railroad season, so hopefully I'll make some progress on the layout soon.

Re: layout video
Very nice Kyle! What decoder does the #2015 have? Been trying to find a decoder with a quillable horn function for a minute..

Re: layout video
David,
The 2015 has a TCS wow sound decoder. 21pin mounted on a TCS mother board with build in keep alive. It does have a "quill horn", but it's a separate function from the standard horn. I forget what the original function number it was, as I remapped it to function 7. When you press function 7 it runs through one of 3 different grade crossing sequences, each sounding a little different. And depending on what horn you have selected each horn has different set of quill sequences. In my opinion it's a really neat feature not found on other decoders. Only problem is it can be a little difficult to time the grade crossing sequence properly as you only press the button once and it plays the entire long, long, short, long. Anyway, hope this helps and makes sense.

Just subscribed, looking forward to seeing more! How big is the layout?
Re: layout video
Thanks Struggen,
The layout is about 13x22, mostly just track no scenery at this point. Hoping to get some done this winter including some videos and a layout tour

Re: layout video
Keep the vid's coming. I'm hoping to finally get my layout going this winter as well. For now I just have a small 1x4 N scale switching puzzle/layout and an 4x8 HO oval. I've got 3 major scenes from from LS&I, LSRC, and Marquette Rail I am trying to mash together in AnyRail for the big layout.
