What a great train Joe!! We have 3 flag boxcars and it's nice to see what they look like rolling along the tracks!
Thanks,
Gary.

Good videos everyone. I promised Laz a video this week using my new video editor. It is a learning curve and I worked all day today to get this together. The video features the Super Chief sets from 1992 and 2003. These engines and passenger sets are from that era of TMCC Lionel Santa Fe F3s' They are polished aluminum and very nicely detailed. On the outside track is the 1992 Super Chief and the inside track is the 2003 set. You will also see an overall look of the layout. Enjoy.

Wood,
Great job. You seem to be getting the hang of the new software. I love how you cut between scenes and perspectives. Working your way to Hollywood quality!

Great video Wood, you have an outstanding layout. Really like your signal bridge. F-3's look great.

Wood, what prompted you to run the 2003 set as AAB?

Wood, what prompted you to run the 2003 set as AAB? The reason Fab, is because I have 042 curves and if I put - A Powered, B Powered and A nonpowered the A nonpowered will stingline on the curve atop the 4.5% grade on the North side of the layout. Put it beween the two powered units and it is just fine. Prototipically I should run ABB and put the non powered B unit in the middle. I do have one and that's what I'll do. Thanks for pointing it out.

There is another solution. I have that 2003 set (sold the engines a couple of years ago). I was running them mixed with a newer set with the 2003 at the rear of the train. The cars in the middle were stringlining on a graded curve. An investigation revealed that the trucks on the 2003 set did not roll well at all and were creating a huge drag. Replaced them with the same trucks from the newer set which rolled freely. I can get you that part number, if you are interested. The newer trucks look better, too.
BTW, I was not being critical, just curious.

This is working out very well Wood!! the scene where one Super Chief is heading into the tunnel on the upper level to the left of the Banff Springs Hotel and the other Chief is emerging from the tunnel on the lower level looks fantastic!!
Well Done Wood,
Gary and Cheryl.

Please post that part number here and where you were able to order them. Thanks again.

WELL DONE! Thanks Laz and Gary. Editor is good and relatively easy to learn, but it takes time and practice. Time is on short supply in my life. I will post another video next week and I am going to try to narrate it like you do. We'll see how that works out.
