And an alternate version of the video. Can you guess the music?

Thanks for sharing! SDP40F’s a beauty.
Respectful critique (I hope you don’t mind).
On the first vid, the engineer’s view forward (up unitl time index 2:15) looks good and realistic as is the back view after time index 5:39. Looks like the train is clipping between 60-65mph (just my guess).
Respectfully, the nose/windshield view of both, #523 and the F40PH yawing severely (much harder than the prototypes did) is a bit distracting. The engineers and firemen would wind up with several dislocated vertebrae at that speed, LOL! [:P]
Please don’t take it negatively, as you put a lot of work into your layout and producing the vids. But just my view, as an observer, pretending that it’s my vid.
Edited: My brain gear is in reverse as usual. The 2nd vid has Supertrain’s opening theme from the first season! it threw me off because the theme I remembered was the one from 2nd season, which was fast paced:
Those Walthers Material Handling Cars, Amfleet Coaches, and Slumbercoaches are very difficult to find.
The train looks good though!
Love the videos!

I laughed out loud at #2. That’s just a delight!
Regarding video #2. Who knew the US got TGVs.

Yes, the music from the second video is indeed the original version of Supertrain before the show was reformatted after a few episodes and then aired for only a few more episodes before getting cancelled.
