Bill looks like you took a small part of my advise. Look the wide shots see the train work throughout your fantastic layout. Can I say envy? Lol. Keep those shots coming bud!
Have to split my comments in 2 or 3 to fit it all. (hate that aspect)
My favorites are the "snoot-nose" T-Motors, and the GP40X's look pretty sharp too. Especially in new paint. They were at home in the Cascades for sure. Well...if I ever get out west to your neighbourhood, I'll remember to bring a handfull of T-Motors to run on those mountain grades. Would look great I'm sure, and yes a great video also. Would be a great scene on your layout.
Happy New Years Day buddy! The "T-Motors" are my all time favorites I guess. First time I visited Northern California that's mostly what there was. I was amazed at the show of power and the multitude of lash-ups they used on all trains heading for the mountains. I do have a handful of cab forwards though, (from rivarossi) Then on a different trip I witnessed the "Tank Train" several times on Tehachapi. That was prob. the most entertaining freight train to ever watch trackside (in my opinion)
@tmotorman Thank you for the generous complements. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I don't have any tunnel motors. Though if someone brought some over for a visit I wouldn't be adverse to running them. A long train with about four in the front and four in the middle would make a very cool video.
Look great Bill!

Doesn't get any better than that!
Love that scenery and mountain grades!
Congratulations once again Bill!
BTW-Do you switch eras occasionally and run any tunnelmotors?

Great video Bill....
Looks like you've made a lot of progress on the layout since I was there last. I would love to come see it again whenever I'm back in Fort Collins.
