It took two and a half years from start to finish to complete the Triplex and about the same for the Yellowstone. This was filmed at Train Mountain RR in southern Oregon. The triplex is doing all the work here and the Yellowstone is dead because we were taking to get weighed in. It weighed in at 1835 lb with out water.

[northernpacificsteam]
