Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

I enjoyed your video, however, it sounded like the Diesels were doing most of the work (Especially on the reverse move). I wonder if this was a fuel conservation move or what, unfortunately only 5 minutes or so of video to look over so don't want to pass judgement on that alone.

More likely not wanting to put the train into "push" mode for any significant distance. Makes for a better, safer ride.

Yanno.

I love them all at any speed. But a low drivered mike talking fast and hard with rods flying like that..... I don't really care that she's only making 40 mph and there's two diesels helping out because she's not big enough to haul all her fans.

That's beautiful!
