@IC fan, you're right. But, the sad reality is that that would have meant no locomotive, and I was excited to have a Rutland diesel, which are hard to come by in O gauge.
That's my dilemma. Been excited for the locomotive since Williams/Bachmann announced it. I was going to run it on my 036-radius, figure-8 track inside the mainline but I'd go nuts if cars derailed. Your video was nice, btw.
