MTH Premier DM&IR Yellowstone (2-8-8-4) O-Gauge Steam Locomotive in True HD 1080p

Here's a video of the Duluth Missabe & Iron Range (DM&IR) Yellowstone (2-8-8-4) steam locomotive in action. This MTH Premier model came out in 1999 with the original Protosound (PS1) system and I later converted it to Protosound 2 (PS2) so that it would work with the DCS remote control system and have the full panoply of sounds, synchronized chuffing and puffing, etc. The conversion came out rather well as you can see and hear in the video. In this video, I have it hauling a dozen DM&IR ore cars. In the real world, the prototype locomotive, a real brute of a freight hauler, would have been pulling ten times as many. The model is quite a brute itself, measuring 32" in length and weighing over 20 pounds. Please visit my web site -- http://www.toytrains1.com -- to see lots more videos and photos of both real and model trains.
