Just a little request. I am thinking of buying a Real Trains inc. 1930's era industrial locomotive. I know some people have them on the LALS. I would like to see one in action before i decide. If you could include one in a video it would be very much appreciated. P.S. love your vids.

@karatestud47 Thanks, but that's very strange because I only see them at the meets (usually the yellow demo-unit, which I've driven a few times myself). I don't think I've seen one since the last Spring Meet we had, unfortunately. But I'll keep my eye out for one...

GGLS is looking into purchasing an RMI forney for use as a club engine, and we have heard good things about it. Also, why do you carry the fuel and water in a seperate tank car.

@steamfreak22 Interesting... We carry the fuel and water in a tank car because the locomotive tank behind the cab is taken up by the engineer's seat and the batteries for the electric air compressor. All the RMI Forneys I've seen are built that way.

Nice Video's Alex. I haven't been to LALS since I was an early teen. except for the G gauge which is new to me, looks pretty much the same.

Thanks, the layout was installed in the late 1990's. Since, it hasn't changed too much.

Well, you should see his Chessie System EMD SD40. It is probably one of my favorite live diesel locomotives at LALS.
