@tacfoley Thanks Tac! Sound is really important and a good deep loud chuff makes all the difference I think. Really sets off the whole scene. Enjoy the free reigns at your house ; )

What is C.C.C & St L mean?

[rayman4449]

@microbusss Hi there, it stands for the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago and St Louis Railway and was eventually aquired by the New York Central.

These videos are so awesome! This has to be the best garden train I have seen since I have been looking at videos of them online. I have over 100 marked in my favorites and this is the best one. Tell us more about it. How much did this cost? Did you have any help putting it all together? etc?

Thank you very much gigman! I'm not sure I remember offhand on the cost to put the layout together, but those engines there (not including the MTH DCS Protosound 2 sound and control system) were 450 dollars each and each coal hopper cost 30 dollars including the Kadee couplers. I actually built the entire layout myself over the period of 2-3 weeks. I'll email more videos and pics offline.
