Nice layout…nice video!

Nice work as usual. I always wonder how many amps these brass engines need? Or, do you replace the motors for better performance?

Neat video, but for a loco that costs nearly $2000 I would hang the right train behind it :slight_smile: The reefers are painted in the 1946=49 pattern, most would have been repainted into the later “balck and white” scheme by the time of the turbines’ introduction in 1958 and the bay window caboose didn’t appear on the UP until 1979-80.
