Over on Facebook in the G scale Trains section a guy had posted this awesome video of a really long coal train that had 3 engines spaced out within the train of approx 334 empty coal hoppers. I was really impressed by this video so I set up a similar train on my RR doing the best I could… I’m short about 321 cars but oh well.
Here is the video.

Todd,
As far as I can see, he has about 5 hoppers behind each loco, for a total of 15-20 hoppers. Are you sure this is the right video?
That’s a video of Todd’s train, Pete…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
Yes the video I posted is from my RR. I was doing my best to replicate a video I saw on Facebook that someone had posted of a REAL coal train. I don’t know if this will work but here is the link to it. https://www.facebook.com/welintonsilvaoliveira/videos/882596361801071/
There were so many cars I thought it was a joke like a video that keeps repeating itself but then after about 100 cars the second engine shows up with another 100 plus and then after that another engine and another 100 plus cars. I counted 334 cars but I blinked a few times and may have missed a few. (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif)

Rereading what I wrote I could understand your mix up. I should have written “a video” instead of “this video” . Oh well I hope you enjoyed my attempt at recreating that cool looong train.
