Good catch the lead unit is a es44dc,thank you.

[wmg33]

7676 is an ES44DC not AC

[wmg33]

Awesome. Did I count 87 cars? Damn. How big is your layout or is it a club layout? I dream of being able to run trains that long one day.

@originalgrump100 stop with your lying bullshit i never sent any email to you what so ever, stop making up shit, i just replied to your comment

[mutanay77]

@originalgrump100 coming from a guy with no videos and only 3 subscribers, lol i almost fell asleep looking at your channel

[BUSFvertryn]

This is love the authentice "grinding" sounds of the ac's! Sounds so much like the real thing!! It's hard to keep track of the 8 or so paint schemes of the BNSF coal gondolas............BNSF'S coal units are never boring here or in real life!

[dallas184]

how many wagons on it

[modeltrainman]

Hey i can see why your name is originalgrump100 i am glad i can bore you with my videos.

That would be a heavy train if all those cars were loaded.

The average 115 car coal train weighs about 14,000 tons.

[Addicted2Guitars]

wow very long train, realistic and amazing

[fixierider97]

wow, awesome video!

[modeltrainman]

Dpu means (distributed power unit)the rear locomotive is controled from the lead locomotive by remote control,one enginer can control all the locomotives in one train with dpu units.

[NumberOneCanadian]

@modeltrainman yes by: consist you can control all the enignes yousing just one remote not having to find every engine in the remote and changing the speed good video by the way

[badboylll]

whats a dpu?

[conrailbuff]

Those BNSF bethgons are shiny!

have you ever used "actual" loads for them besides the drop-in coal? for my NS coal drags I use woodland scenics black ballast to act as coal loads. its tedious work filling them up but its really kewl to see them roll by!

[flamingpouchkangaroo]

That's a great train.

[kcurrahee]

The decoders are t55 upgrade kits. I'm not happy with the digitrax sound decoders. There QSI from Ulrich Hobbies. I've replaced all my tower 55 with them.

[MadCat58]

hey that Zephyr looks familiar

[83dubbie]

Wow thats alot of coal!

[leejax01]

I knew from the horn what decoder that was. It sounds like an AC6000 horn than a Gevo horn. Can the horn type be adjusted? I was thinking of getting one of those decoders, but didn't know if the horn sound was selected or programed.

[prorobo]

I love those Bethgon gondolas! I've been meaning to pick up a set for myself for awhile now. Wicked awesome!

[MetraCNW71794]

I was there today for a while, didnt see yea there, awesome vid

[RichmanJ93]

I run powered DPU's all the time. Why is it suprising?
