Long Snouts Take A Run Yesterday On CMRS Crockett Layout
Author: FiveChime

These long snout SD40s are about the latest locomotives I model, but it's very enjoyable to run them for
several hours with a long train and not have to worry about derailmants or other problems.
The tail of the reefer block running on the lower track was under control of Boiling Man who arrived
in Crockett from Dutch Flat by drone aircraft.

The Athearn snoots seem to be more tolerant of track conditions, they have their problems but enjoy them while they run, they certainly have the SP look to them.
I was able to shift the dcc motor control curves and mostly match the ST SD45's, so for the moment it's a nice running set.
