Captain, <br />I leap to your defence! To me nothing looks finer than an old steamer rattling along with a short consist in a mountain area. I have a VHS on the old Rio Grande and some of the camera work there is fantastic. The operating is totally different to what we brits are used to. One shot shows a mike pulling one caboose towards a freight on a loop. The guy in the caboose unhitches it whilst the engine accelerates away, at the first switch a guy jumps from the engine & turns the switch to let the caboose run up to the back of the freight whilst the engine runs to the front and backs onto the freight. The back switch is turned back to main line & the train is away in minutes. In this country? In your dreams! With our rules that would have taken for ever. <br />Still, each to their own! <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
