André and Tim, many thanks for the Christmas present. Thanks to Dave, too, for creating such a remarkable layout. There are so many good ideas evident in those pictures that singling one out seems silly, but the loading dock for the rock-filled gondolas, complete with downhill slope, is simply brilliant.

Yes HJ , Dave uses WORKING locomotives on the grades and trains . Had to watch the slides and video again , so enjoyable .

I know that it would be too long for youtube , but wouldn’t a on board video of a train during a operations session , be a real pleasure to watch on DVD ?

Welllllllll non-working locomotives at the head of a train wouldn’t get you very far, would they? At least I’ve never seen that happen. :smiley: :smiley:

I should have said , due to the grades and loads , those are hard working locomotives pulling the loads on the grades . My locos have a easy load and work , pulling on the flat lands . They were operating from the wire today at just about 36 F degrees , brrrrr ! The waiting shelters were appreciated by the public today .
