Thanks, but I cannot take all of the credit. I work for a fellow forum member and he has been generous enough to allow me to borrow some of his new locomotives to video.

That was a great video. I particularly like the billboard view at the end.

When I put a freight train together it is going to resemble an abbreviated version of a train that actually ran over its home road. Here is southbound FW&D 131 that has just filled at Quanah, TX.  Picked up were loads of wallboard and bulk gypsum from Georgia Pacific and boxcar loads off Frisco 537.  Next comes plug door boxcars of Coors beer from Golden, CO., and loads from affiliated Hill lines cars coming out of Wendover, WY.  The rear tonnage is ag commodities from Amarillo, TX.

The tail of 134 coal hopper train wb in Parkville, MO today. Couldn't fit the rest of the train in.

Your video is GREAT! I have just one comment on your post. The Diesel in your video looks to be an EMD PRR E7 locomotive based on the body length and the 6-wheel trucks. The F7 was a shorter locomotive with 4 wheel trucks.

Today I ran my Lionel Rio Grande freight set 2291W, which I received for my first Christmas in 1958, on my Super O postwar layout. This was such an action packed consist for a child or an adult to enjoy. Lionel certainly knew how to keep your interest. It has logged many miles these past 62 years and still looks great and brings back lots of great memories.

Rich.  I have the exact same set.  That was a great Christmas wasn't it.  All my friends wanted the red and silver Santa Fe.  Nobody wanted the yellow & green D&RG.  Sure glad Santa made a great choice.  Luv that magna traction.

Finally, a day off to just run trains.

Truly an astonishing sight. Is this a club layout or are you building it yourself?

Winston, great video. I like the string of reefers. What brand is the Mikado? Sounds great.
