Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

I wanted to get a picture of the four BNSF ES44AC engines I worked on two days ago. I still need to get a truck side frame from Lionel for the #5815. The lead #6425 has the new sound system from another 5815. The #6411 is as originally manufactured. The #6438 was a dummy that I put on my 6425 sound chassis. And the final 5815 is waiting for a side frame as the video shows.

I need to do revisions on my layout so I am clearing the layout and boxing all the trains after testing them. The double main line was built with minimum O-72 curves to accommodate a Vision Line Big Boy.

I was happy to see that the four BNSF engines with smoke did not trip a transformer breaker.

Here is a video of their first trip on my "Valley of Bridges" layout.

Sincerely, John Rowlen
