Very nice layout Scott.
I picked up the CN Turbotrain back in November, and have since ordered 2 additional cars. After looking at your VIA consist, I may go ahead and add another two; 5 cars seems to be a nice sized train.
I love the set, and as someone said in another thread (very '2001 A space Odyssey'). I did run into a couple of issues early on. I have 0-72 curves, but opted for Marty's Z bend fix; however I did have some initial problems with connectors working loose, resulting in loss of lighting in the cars. After taking some of the strain off the tethers, and through continued use, the problem has disappeared.
My second problem was quite informative. I was running at reasonably high speeds around the layout (slow for turbo, fast for freight), when the sound went out completely. I feared the worst, and thought I had blown the PS3 board. After checking everything out, I found a broken wire on the lead unit tether. The Turbotrain has a speaker in each power unit, which are connected in series through the tether. Just a good note for everyone out there running these, don't assume you have blown the electronics if you loose your sound, just follow the wiring through the tethers, the fix might be just a simple broken wire.
