I have tried searching on this topic within MRH, but haven't found an informative answer, so would appreciate some help.

On a shortline, when switching out industries, would the horn be used when moving off (forwards or reverse)? Or is everything done by radio between the engineer and the man on the ground throwing the switches?

Thanks

One of my recent purchases in the hobby were some old Bachmann Amtrak equipment (Two Metroliners of different generations and two phase I Amfleets), and since I do plan on running the cars as a set, I wanted to get new pantographs (from the modern E60CH since it has the twin pantographs. Not prototypical for what its going on but im happy with my choices) and it put a question in my head. Do pantographs have a “correct” setup for running?

I recently completed the trackage Birdsboro Yard, so I wanted to test it to make sure that I could switch trains in in it.  I created a video explaining how I classify cars at Birdsboro Yard.  Hopefully it has some info that might be helpful to others.

I just now made a video and posted it on TMTV about the MRH Universal Modeling Sizes chart and how to use it:

I wanted to experiment with Zoom recording and trying to get better video and audio, so I tried a new camera and microphone. Plus with Zoom, it's easy to capture my computer screen while I talk, so that's a plus.
