How is the JR ATSF SD45-2? I was considering it, but I also am interested in the NS OL D9, and the patched CR D8s.

I spy some GE's back in that shed there.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing.
This is not meant to be critical, it's just information to help provide realism and complexity to the operating sessions. At all of the rail slips I have been, the policy is "the locomotive cannot go on the ramp". Idler cars (empty flats, gondolas, any empty, light weight cars) must be used so the locomotive is never allowed on the ramp. Most places had/have signs about one car length from the ramp "No Locomotives Beyond This Point".

I have the Bookend one, and it is a fantastic model. It has everything you've come to expect from JR including wonderful cabin, a flashing beacon light, windows that open that you can see outside the cab, doors that open and can be seen outside the cab and etc etc... Would be a heavy recommendation from me if you're a western RR's fan.
The GE Barns are a must! We want the rolling barns!
Hi John --
I'd make the excuse that in model railroadz it's not absolutely necessary to follow prototypical operation.
But having said that, the real reason the locomotive ended up on the barge was timing. At 10 minutes I thought the video was already getting too long, it would have added several extra minutes to get the locomotive to the other end of the consist, and I really wanted to finish with a panning shot to again highlight the shadows and reflections in T:ANE.
And, of course, in real life I'd be extremely surprised if any locomotive engineer and his crew could do those switching operation in 10 minutes. Based on my observations here in Australia I suspect it would take well over a half hour.
