This True HD 1080p video is a little different from the ones that I've shot thus far as it's not so much a reshoot of an existing standard definition (SD) video but rather shows a train that I typically run on my layout that I've never shown in a video before. The train is running on my number 2 track (O-54 diameter) and has two MTH Premier K4s Pacific-type steam locomotives running together. In front is the prewar model, #1737 and at the rear in pusher service is the postwar model #1361. This is probably the most famous of the K4s locomotives as for many years it was on display at Horseshoe Curve near Altoona Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, it's sitting in "kit" form in Altoona instead of running today. Between them is a long string of older AtlasO reefers. Without the pusher locomotive, a train of this length and weight would stringline on the O-54 curves. With it, as you can see, it runs flawlessly. I've slowed the train down so that you can get a better look at the decoration of the reefers. Enjoy!
