Eighteen freight cars doesn't seem like much .....
Author: WrongWayMurphy

in HO or N scale, but in 1.5" scale its a substantial train.

One locomotive would not have handled it, but these twin Alcos made easy work of the train,
up and down the hills of East Texas.  After working on track all morning, I took the afternoon off to
take a joy ride.  Each RS20 locomotive has four motors (one on each axle), two sets of 24 VDC batteries,
and each has its own sound system with Alco sounds.  AirWire is used for the handheld remote throttle.
