    Video Notes:
    1) This video has chapter if you'd like skip around.
    2) Thanks to everybody who ordered one of these!
    3) This was a custom run that sold out, so anyone wanting one now will have to look to places such as ebay etc. Sorry about that.

    You should try some steam locomotives in a fantasy livery, fans of you and steam engines can have two things they love all in one or two locomotives. Love the diesels, don’t have one of them, but they look very lovely still. Let’s see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.
