GNRW 3rd Saturday monthly ops:
Videos:
Multi-level view of 3 levels of the GNRW mainline which is, basically, a large helix with a 400' mainline along the outside walls of the basement.
The middle track has the Erie 2-8-8-8-2 triplex which I failed to get a video or picture 'of'.
Many of the cars are vintage metal Athearn/Varney and wood Silver Streak/Ambroid freight car kits.
All 'cabeese' have LED's or resistors to let the LCC signaling system know when the train has departed a 'block'.
