| Thanks...you like those Hustlers, eh? They're among my favorite locos. The one in front is remotored with an A-Line/Ernst remotor/regear kit. I've fitted it with LEDs front and rear, NWSL wheelsets and a Lenz decoder. As you can see it's been completely redetailed to look more like a "real" hustler. The second unit is completely stock and just along for the ride. It still has its original first generation motor and is wired into the front one for electrical pickup only. The pair can crawl 20 feet in 20 minutes in the yard and can haul 4-5 cars up a 1.75% grade.

Hey:
Man after my own heart. I have 4 Hustlers + a Lionel (Geared) Husky and the Hustler based center cab by Lionel Erie #0545
I have Two Ernst Gear kits and my plan is to use two Hustlers wired (MU'd) together back to back to get a "Transfer" Tandem with 8-wheel pickup & drive! I'm gonna buy a another in the next few days. A silver 1959 #59
I actually like Hi-F drives (Rubber Band)

Is the the trolley? The GG-1 looked painted as such but somehow seemed bigger. Spotted a few buildings, rolling stock and of course the wall display...
Very nice! Good work all around, well-themed for each layout. The last ones were most impressive for the "realism" factor but the first ones are charming as well. Great examples of the hobby's multiple facets.

Nice Lionel unit, G, gonna have to keep my ete peeled for one of those.
Tony, the trolley is a Bachmann, the GG1 is a stock Rivarossi unit from the 60s. I do have a Tyco GG1 in red though. Most of the Tyco in the video is freight cars and structures. I'll be putting one together of my Tyco locos shortly though.
