@whipcrackist010 It's called the Shay, and they are used to climb steep grades to deliver cargo, mainly log trains. Their gear arrangement allows them to climb 1-3% grades.
In the steam era, you wouldnt see TAG style graffiti on boxcars. Other than that looking out of place, the layout and locomotives are beautiful. Good Work.
I think he did that on purpose to show the side-rod action. Fun to watch-especially on the y6b. (that is a y6b-right?) A magnificent locomotive-the articulated double-chuff is beautiful!
Your right about the slow motion, I'm planning a new video with some more trains moving at a faster pace. I love the Y6B I have the Lionel Big Boy on order, if they ever ship it with the TMCC ll, that will be an awesome engine to film.
I love seeing that Y6b crawl at a few SMPH -- that's impressive! Any department store special can do mach 1. Do keep a respirator nearby in case the smoke gets too thick?
Cool layout. Very realistic. I like the boxcar with the sprainpaint graffitti on the side. My only complaint would be that until the final 5 seconds, all of the trains are moving awfully slow. They'll all in rail-yard speed.
Very nice layout!! Wish my locos smoked like that

I have the N&W y6b engine, but I love your Cass Scenic shay engine. Is it also MTH? Makes me a proud West Virginian to see it.

You would've seen "Tag" style graffiti back then. Tag graffiti has been around since the 1950s, the end of the steam days in America.

Hi AL,
Nice video! Was wondering how you got so much smoke out of the Shay. Is it Lionel or MTH?
