And 610 was also the locomotive that pulled the American Freedom Train. It’s one of the three steam locomotives that pulled the American Freedom Train. The two others were Southern Pacific 4449, Reading 2101, and then we have Texas & Pacific 610. 610 had also went to the Southern Railway for steam excursions.

Nice to see again Steve's railroad. Always amazing to see his work. My scratch built turntable is simply man powered, like the prototype, and the small locks are functional (made in brass). I think it is a lot more easy than a motorized turntable, when having just a few tracks. I like Peco On30 track, but the turnout isn't very reliable on my layout, my self made copies are less derailment prone. Next time I need a turnout, I will continue to make them myself, but for the track, Peco is fine.

One other thing I have a old book on the Old Moffat Road that climbed the continental divide before the Moffat tunnel was built. Think its called Climbing the Ladder or something. Anyway in the 1970s the tracked was like a dirt road and like the Colorado narrow gauge lines long gone there was rr infrastructure still standing. Im surprised I havent seen you make any exploring videos on the old moffat line and checked out the old left behind water towers and stuff and all the views and tunnels that rr had to offer. Some of those tunnels were really short and ran along a creek if I remember right or maybe it was Moffats competitor the colorado midland. I always liked the rocky terrain and the multiple short tunnels in gorges along rivers. Here in the East the C&O was known to have many like that till they modernized and removed some of them in the depression era improvements they made. Both were really kool to look at. To me it was always like a real life version of John Allens G&D from the photos in those books.

Ok, so here's the next level of concept: - racoon has a bit of a built-in buckety container - travels a circuit that's something of a triangle in a vertical plain: --- racoon emerges from behind scenery, "climbs" wires lines to the substation. --- Upon reaching substation, an invisible electrical contact is made, and a hidden phosphor charge in the raccoon's "bucket" fires. --- immediately the raccoon drops down into the scenery to disappear for a few minutes. --- while the raccoon is disappeared, it's getting a new phosphor charge, and making its way back to it's point of entry, where the cycle repeats. So Gardener: if you're going to propose ideas like this, you have to be ready to deal with the consequences of your actions, which includes responses like this, which __ are better suited to an outdoor layout anyway. Kindly share the video when you get this worked up!

Remember my comments on the last video; I was curious if building your own 15 inch gauge backyard railroad is possible. Were you talking about Danny Olroid or Steve in the late video?

He was talking about tearing the whole thing down in selling it. And I said all please just leave it where it is. It doesn’t need to run it can just sit there being beautiful
