Was to have marked the last video ever done due to 'technical difficulties' encountered on the route. But thanks to some help, work carries on. Keep an eye on things that move and fly around the train. And something about the UA Turbo, especially in it's CN livery.
What was to be the route's 'swan song', is actually now a rising phoenix.

  • Thanks. The creator actually does offer a Amtrak version with the set. Along with VIA and a UA demo paint scheme I think it is. My routes are slowly improving, and faster than my videos. I'll try to remember to run a Amtrak next time. :)

  • Hey man great video. Where'd the VIA station sign come from? I've been looking for one

    thanks

  • Thanks. The VIA sign was a rare find, but if I recall. it's buried deep in Eds Trains On Line 'freeware' section. And quite possibly one of Gaetan Belanger's first creations - but don't quote me on that.

    Great finds though at Ed's. Happy hunting.

  • Thanks for the help. you were right. I looked and I found them there. Now I just need to figure out how to work them

  • Phew! Better than Kreskin then. :) It's a pretty good gold mine there. And the sign should be relatively easy to install and place in RE. BTW - I've since 'raised' Brantford area around the station by 7ft or so. So hopefully will make a better video of all this soon again.

  • The TURBO train was a Canadian Engineering masterpiece. it was decades ahead of its time. It still holds the speed record for any train in Canada and the United States till this day! After all the issues were fixed, the train had a 98.6% reliability rate (best in NA), top speed of over 170.8mph.

  • I'm not sure the Canadians can lay claim to engineering the Turbo there Patrick? From my understanding it was designed by United Aircraft (UA) and used in America as well. But I think it looks best in CN colours, and was never really given a proper chance. Like buying a Lambougini car to drive in downtown rush hour. Had CN gave it a good right of way and allowed it to do it's intended top speeds, I think it would still be a great train even today.

  • VERY VERY NICE!! I wish they would do one of the Amtrak Turboliners also. I rode them a few times and I loved how smooth-riding they were and their huge windows too. For a while they were favorites on the NY-Montreal Adirondack.

  • Very nice

    I look forward to it. I tried to install the sign and no go for me. I'll keep trying though

  • The songs are rough ideas for future projects and contributions. So my naming of them is pretty lame for the most part. But in order of play they are:

    The Christmas Song (as I did it Dec 23)

    The Last Time Things Will Be The Same

    Toronto Lullabye (Hence the inside joke with my GTA videos)

    Glad you enjoyed. :)
