Hi Shane; Awesome railroad you have there. And what stunning looking train lead by a pair of SD75I's [I think] . I see that you are still doing 'ride along' videos lol. James.

Thanks James. Yes, that's a set of my favourite SD75I's. I continue to work on trains, they're just a little smaller in retirement. :)

Thanks Mike. Still lots on the workbench, and planned. I have 3 more SD60f bases waiting for bodies, 2 more rotary gons, which will give me 7 out of a planned 20 car train, and I hope to start on a GP9rm/slug this winter. Retirement is busy. :P

@CanadianrailroadsCa3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Scott. This pair of locos are the first I have used RailPro on, and I'll be using it on all future locomotives. They have a great sound library, and I like being able to kick in the dynamic brakes coming down the hills. All of my older locomotives are using Revo's, and will stay that way as I can't justify the cost of changing them over.

Never have I been so excited for a video :) Those two look (and sound!!!) phenomenal! Those remind me of trains I'd see on the Coronado, coke cars and boxcars on the way up, and then coke cars and the power turned around on the way back :P Great work Shane!!
@CanadianrailroadsCa3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Bricks. You'd almost think I planned on making it look like a short 557, though I don't know if that number still runs on your line. :P It will be nice to see them running once the yard turns green. I guess the only thing remaining to be tested is the SD40-2w. I think it and the 6028 will pair up to haul a short 512 up the Beamer. :)
@AlbertaBoundRailfanning3 жыл бұрын
I think that sounds like a very good idea! Yes haha, 557 is still the southbound, and 556 is the northbound! 757 would be the southbound coke loads.
