Bravo Jason! Thanks for showing us the labor of love that goes into making these trains. It's important to show the handy work and people that build them. Love your LRC trains! Looking forward to buying the RDC's.

I must say that in combination with the other videos, this is one very interesting...story would be a way to put it about what it truly takes to get from a concept to a running model on someones layout. I know that the hobby has been under flak in recent years about the cost of some of these models and about where they are made. Seeing this really helps put everything in perspective. Thanks for the transparency about what it takes. Keep up the awesome work that your company as a whole does!
