Well done!
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Well done indeed, and very enjoyable! Everyone on this Forum should watch it!
I've only gotten as far in as the explanation of draft gear so far, and am already impressed with some of the details; in particular, the coverage of coupler action is better than anything I have seen in any medium.
As a couple of notes: the cab number is generally called a 'road number', not an 'ID number', and the anticlimber is intended to prevent telescoping-type overriding collisions (the things the collision posts are intended to catch once something has gotten that far into the cab). You might also want to remark that the locomotive you've generated has a snowplow pilot, which is a special feature.
Thanks for the information! We'll see if we can get that put in the corrections thread on the video

While the snowplow pilot may be a 'special feature', the fact the the all the Class 1 carriers have footprint that encompasses territories the encounter serious snowfall as well as warm sunlands. Since the carriers operate their locomotives all over their own systems as well as having them interchange and operate on all their connecting carriers over the entirety of those systems. As such it would seem that the snowplow pilot is almost univerally the pilot style of choice for the Class 1 US carriers.
