Ho scale Amtrak Downeaster NPCU phase 4 test run

This was my NPCU, but now I'm repainting it to phase five and selling it to Derek. (dcarpine28)
This F40PH was originally powered, but the engine died and I then gutted out the motor, and repainted it into phase 4. It was originally in phase 2 and numbered #224. Now, once again, I'm repainting it into phase 5, renumbering it #90214, and selling it to Derek! :) This was a test run on my layout to see how well my NPCU could handle the tracks. My Athearn P42 (renumbered into #104) was powering the train. Also take note that you hear a horn near the end, that was just my cell phone recording of an MSTS horn. enjoy! :)

@trinityct My old camera battery drains fast to. So it is a good thing I dont use it as much anymore exept for under train shots.

I understand your swearing ;)

@dcarpine28 especially this camera..... the one I was using was the same on I used for this NPCU video shown above. It;s a Canon Powershot, and it drains the double A batteries like a bitch...... (pardon the language) :P  I was swearing much more after the camera died yesterday XP

@dcarpine28 btw I finished painting the roof blue :) I'm just going to repaint the red stripe on the bottom, which has already started to fade :P also I still need to add the numbers on the side, and that's pretty much about it :) I was going to upload the video, but my camera died on me while FILMING!!!!! :P So I don't even know if it saved what I filmed :/
