[QUOTE="Dan Richardson, post: 91165, member: 1599"] Re: Concert Tech on Trains Yes, the action all happens while the train is moving. The age of the cars isn't the issue, since they all have modern trucks to fit modern rails. The issue is the tracks are in awful condition, at least on this continent. We did have one train of Breton fiddlers who had a contra dance enroute. That was amusing. I put a slab of foam on top of the speaker and then tension it against the ceiling by spreading the stand legs. I add a hose clamp above the stand clamp for security. Geometry says the speaker would have to go up to go sideways, and unless the stand gives out, that's not going to happen. It's another one of the factors that constrains my speaker placement. I need clearance for the legs and solid ceiling above. We ride along on Amtrak or VIA Rail lines, so we're getting our power from their diesels. It's been OK while running. However, when in station, the power's liable to be cut without warning. I did have one rental Crown XTI 4000 that didn't want to come back from one of those. Some of the cars do have generators. We don't have much call to rely on them, since there's usually shore power when we're parked in a yard. [/QUOTE]
