Thanks guys !! Glad you like the work. Here’s two more short videos to enjoy. First ones taken at Golden and the second was shot from the highway overpass at Clanwilliam.
The Weaver locos I have used Seuthe smoke units which are not great compared with what's out there today.
Just when I bought you couldn’t top the last video you topped it Myles! Once again your scenery is amazing! I love the power lines! They really give the scene a lot of believability.
where did you get the snow plow in the second video?
Thanks again guys. The comparison to smoke volume Dougklinks points out is absolutely correct. Smoke units produced 15 to 20 years ago have very little competition against the recent smoke belching behemoth models manufactured in the last decade. Brand name companies producing models of famous locomotives like the BigBoy and others, not only excelled in detail and sound, but also in their electronic fan driven smoke units. Keeping the visual illusion going could be compared to the prototype requiring refueling, water stops and coal top offs. To answer Phil’s inquiry on the snow plows. The models were produced many years ago by New Jersey International / Custom Brass, ( shown ) . These models can still be found at train shows and public Internet Sites at reasonable prices. Equally, MTH Corporation produced a very similar model made in plastic and metal painted in various popular road names. These are quite readily available and at a reasonable price.

Old school TOFC on the CP--I love it! 
Thanks Jon. Any of the trailer flats I have are either MTH, Lionel or Max Gray. The 89 footers are all Atlas. CP operated an expeditor freight in the late 70’s early 80’s numbered “482 “. If your phone rang anytime around 5:30 - 6 am, you pretty much knew you were getting called for the ‘fast one’ !
