Love seeing the old aristo Alcos in action!

Nice long layout!
Reminds me of Peter Jens Bang's layout.

[@RockwallCanyonRR]

Thanks so much! That's a lofty comparison, Peter's layout is amazing from what I've seen.

Nice video. Loved the shot of the trains passing on the elevated section. I sure miss Aristo-Craft.
I bought most of my G-Scale locomotives and rolling stock from them.
They had the best selection of steam locomotives too, and these are what I miss the most.
Just doesn't seem to be any decent selection of inexpensive steam loco's in G-Scale anymore, anywhere, at least I haven't seen any, not since Aristo-Craft went out of business.😢

Thanks! You're right! The steam engines available now are all really expensive! Aristo steam had big problems back in the 90s, but they turned it around with new motor blocks later on. I have one of the high-boiler B&O-style 2-8-0s, its a really great runner! Would love to get a Mallet at some point too!

What a relaxing watch... Love the A-B-B-A locomotive consist. The S4 looks to be a strong runner, pulling 5 heavies. Nice. Canopy for shade and nice weather, what more can you ask for. Skål!

Thanks so much! The passenger consist represents an excursion train I used to work on up in the White Mtns of NH. They regularly ran the S-4 with 6 cars on a 3% grade! The sound of that 539 turbo spooling up for the big grade is a sound I'll have with me always! The model does a nice job too!
