The first cut seemed to be the Jet Powered BUDD RDC set.
The only things missing were Choo CHOO Bob, and FRED, standing trackside, capturing the moment.

I would welcome either to make up for my poor attempts at what I laughingly call photography.

I find these presentations to be both entertaining and inspiring to continue with my kit bashing, to make work motors not available from the current "0" gauge retail manufactures.

Thanks again

Steve,

I did find and get to see your videos!

The geep sure is putting out the smoke in the second one.

Thanks for the tip!

Neat! But that should be an Alco in the second video, what with that much smoke!

I was half expecting to hear *crash* after the first train passed at that speed 8-)

The two trains were actually running on 2 separate lines that run parallel to each other in spots. That jet train actually rear ended my train, which was safely parked in the yard. No damage but lots of controversy followed.

I had 4 of them. 2 NY Central, 1 PRR and 1 P&LE. All smoked like that :). P&LE was sold to another collector who just had to have it.

It was one of the member's son's and he was watching his train and not the board so he didn't see he was lined up into the yard. No damage and he didn't have to pee in the cup.

That's like using a Ferrari as a taxicab.

The "as built" gearing was all wrong but Conrail modify and did use them for several years.

Nice but your Geep needs valve work. Diesels don't throw smoke like a steam engine. :-)
