Very nice indeed!

Where did you get the supports for the elevated track or did you make them?

Thanks for sharing.

Here are some photos of my latest engine. A Lionel Vision line 6-11155.

 A. T. & S. F. 2-10-10-2. It has some great features but I have to expand my setup

to 0-72 so that it will make the curves.

As you can see by the next photo it swings way out on the curves.
