It was a hard job. 5 mm Seuthe smoke unit and the stack has 6 mm diameter at the narrowest point! I had to work very slowly with a reamer.

I really like the color scheme on your locos ,cars and cabooses. Really gives the RR a family look. As a kid in Montana the term for that kind of oil pump was a grasshopper. The name my change regionally in the U.S. though. For never having been in the U.S. you really nailed the look man. "Nailed" a slang term for being exactly correct.
In Lewiston Idaho,where they filmed Breakheart pass.

I've got this NYC Mikado at e-bay for 150 Euro ($180), with ESU sound. It's a simple version of the ESU sound. And this engine is a bad puller. At my 1.6% grade it handles these three heavyweights. This is nearly the limit. The engine has no tires! But I have no engine with tires. That's another point. Tires will gave some dirt.

Doh! Keystone 44 tonners are impossiable to find anymore.  I have 2 Bachman spectrum single motors and they run like junk :(

Excellent videos! Your street running scene where the train was running right next to some buildings going down a hill was very neat. You should really consider putting some of these videos on YouTube; the MRR crowd there would eat them up! (myself included!) Cool [8D]

I was just going to ask about the 44 tonner but some one beat me to it.  I have the little Bachmann one that would never be able to pull a flat with my camera on it.  Great video and love the layout.  Is there any way to get a full around the layout video?  I dont remember seeing that in the lineup if I did then tell me to go and look again :)

I'm too far away. I was never in the USA. What's the correct sound, where can I get it?

"Is that horn comming from the CN SD40s? "

 These engines have an ESU Loksound decoder, like nearly all my sound engines.
