The sound...the fury...the 30-car rampage. Who knew a pair of K-Line Plymouths could be responsible for this kind of cacophony? Now you do.

No--it's not a single "train set" you can buy in any one shop or website all at once--it's actually five separate sets hooked together . And since it was all made by K-Line, you'll spend a lot of time looking high and low through various train shows and online retailers to assemble one like this--even when K-Line was still in business. As it is, one of these switchers will pull the train (the cars roll VERY freely) but it was felt prudent to use two.

Appearing soon on the NJ Hirailers layout. (yes, it did climb the helix without stalling )

--Shot with a Canon VIXIA HFM300
--oddball .MTS files converted to MP4 with WinFF,
--edited on Ulead VideoStudio 11 (after rummaging through the Web for a direct link to the 11.5 update file that keeps it from crashing upon playing H.264 files--that Ulead & Corel thoughtfully de-linked from their respective support pages thankyouverymuch) and still having the wrong aspect ratio after too many hours rendering.

(if I figure out how to re-render this so it actually comes out as a 16:9 clip I'll nuke this one and re-upload--squashed video bugs me to no end)
