Las Vegas Garden railroad layout #2. Please watch my other videos. One of three garden railroads we visited in Las Vegas during a hobby shop trade show there. The last day was a tour of three railroads. Thanks to the Las Vegas garden railroad group.

Baldwin 2-6-6-2T No.110 pulling the "1880 Train" up the 4%-6% grade out of Hill City, South Dakota - the infamous Tin Mill Hill. Lots of steam, smoke, and noise as No. 110 claws its way to the top. Filmed in 2005.

In this video, plow train #5319 clears the mainline to allow the westbound California Zephyr to make it through. This is part 1 of 3.

This video was taken 11 months after the first one I posted. Now, the mainline of my railroad is complete and this train clears the whole outdoor section of the line. The horrible screeching noise you will hear for about 5 seconds is a low hanging plastic footstep on one of the engines rubbing on the track.

P. T. Barnum would have loved the Triplex. It was an engine of superlatives: more drivers than anything before or since, too big for the shops of its owner, the Erie Railroad, powerful enough to pull a train nearly five miles long. Ninety years ago, in the days before multiple-unit control allowed one throttle to control several locomotives, the Triplex was the ultimate attempt to put as much power as possible in the hands of a single engineer. In the end, it proved a noble, flamboyant, but less-than-successful experiment.
Baldwin Locomotive Works built three triplexes between 1914 and 1916 for pusher service on the Erie Railroad's daunting Susquehanna Hill (also known as Gulf Summit) near Deposit, N.Y. The cylinders of the Triplex's middle engine were powered by high pressure steam direct from the boiler, while the front and rear engines used low pressure steam exhausted from the middle cylinders.
