MTH Premier GN S-2 & GN R-2 O-Gauge Steam Locomotives in True HD 1080p

This is another unusual video. It shows the MTH Premier Great Northern (GN) S-2 Northern-type (4-8-4) steam locomotive pulling a large consist of 36' woodsided reefers. That's quite a load, and the S-2 runs out of oomph. It calls for help, and the MTH Premier GN R-2, a 2-8-8-2 articulated behemoth, answers the call. It backs out of the ready yard onto the mainline, couples to the back of the train, and together the S-2 and the R-2 get it up to speed and on the way to its destination. As you'll see in this True HD 1080p video, the S-2 and the R-2 work splendidly together in lash-up using DCS, combining to move the train with no trouble at all. The detail and operation of both locomotives is superb! Please visit my web site -- http://www.toytrains1.com -- for lots more videos and photos of both real and model trains.

You do indeed see UP 844. :)

DCS has been pretty much trouble-free. I have hints and tips about it on my web site that you might find of interest.

Cool Video. I like the Belpaire Fireboxes on those locos. Great Northern engines are really cool. I can't wait to get DCS. Has it ever gave you any problems? Just wondering. I want it after it comes out with a Protosound 3 upgrade which might be this coming fall.
