      FerroMex, also, had 14 centipedes. Presumably 7 pairs (most were sold as mated pairs). UP was slated to buy 2 but it never happened. Those 2 units were then repainted as Baldwin demonstrators

    Very cool model railroad club, Dale and Karyn! Did I say cool? Yes, because the basement might heat up if the city restored the HOT springs pool above it... And if, after restoration, such a pool ever leaked, then there would be one hell of a rainstorm inundating these miniature rail lines and the modeled mountains that they meander through.

      @@ToyManTelevision I'm building a layout of my own---three levels---2000+ feet of track, 327 locomotives, 100's of passenger and freight cars, big curves, long trains, helpers on the 4%, often times 10 to 12 engines on a train. It's known as the UP&W, or the Wasatch Range Railway. I designed the control system, pulled the DCC out of the locomotives and put it on the track. Only need one decoder per train now! All automatic, the train tells the decoder what throttle to run on. I designed the signal system, and the sound system. Test wired it to see if it would work! Now putting the permanent wiring in, but I developed MS so things have slowed a bit. It is gonna be an awesome railroad when it gets to the point that we can run it. 100 Watt power packs; I need to add a second circuit down in the basement!!! This will be a hum-dinger when it's done---I promise!!! I live up in Brigham City.

    You did a pretty good history of the Hot springs swimming pool being Changed into the Golden Spike model train club. I love the Milwaukee Road passenger train. There is the Milwaukee Road 261 passenger train. There is a MW 4-8-4 locomotive that is similar to 261. It's MW 265, it's the locomotive that is found at the Illinois railroad museum. You did do a film the locomotive. Milwaukee Road 261 is operational to this day.

      Love your video Toy Man Television and so hope to get a chance to meet you two in person one day like my friend Leandras did there inbOgden attending UP's Golden Spike celebrations May 9, and again at Promontory May 10, 2019! I was there too but not with Leandras at the time he met you! I was off trying to get a spot in line to see my friend Ed Dickens with Big Boy and 844 up close but never did! We had to find our other wandering friend Mary Stahl sequestering herself all the while inside the Ogden Union Station's Browning Museum telling one and all who stood listening to her passionate recollections of just about every piece of Browning guns she knew about housed on display in that Museum! We had to go find her otherwise she was too cold outside during the festivities with the 4014 and 844 meet! Leandras had yo go in and fish her free! Then she went back in for another round with her guns! That time I had ran into another mutual facebook friend Dennis Lane who had also been in the long lines and gave up who was sitting on the edge of the waterfountain pool out front of the Station Museum and went in with me to go fetch Mary and found her with a crowd of people listening to her Browning Rifle stories in great detail! She's a hoot just like you two, too! Toot Toot!

    Thats a Beautiful model railroad underneath that swimming pool. Here is to hoping the actual pool doesn't get reopened, Because this railroad is build where normally all the pumping equipment, filters and other stuff to keep the pool clean. If that would reopened this railroad would be removed to make place for that.
