The caboose was great!
You should make like, a building or something next time.
Ha, that would be funny. A layout with moving buildings and stationary trains...

| That's why I like this forum. You guys have fun with your layouts instead of knit picking at all the details.[:O)]

I was under the impression that "Operating Hopper" meant something different.

Too Cool Cheez!
The Caboose tooling around on its own looks freaky and not right!
Great Work!

If I hadn't muted the sound and put the music on the video, you'd probably have been able to hear me laughing as the caboose zoomed around the loop.[:D] It was so funny to watch.
Today I glued a coupler pocket onto the switcher chassis...you can imagine what I did next. lol. A train with no engine[:p].

| Reminds me of the daze before DCC at the club. One of the members had an express reefer outfitted with an Athearn SW1500 drive. Newcomers given their next assignment would throw the block and be dumbfounded at the sight of their train coming out to them.

Yeah, I've seen something like that, some time ago.. all freightcars, caboose... uh, where's the locomotive. And when the guy thought it was a broken train on the run, turns around to see where it came from while his opposite hand goes to grab the runaway train... misses it because it had stopped and backed up, to the would be hero's dismay!
ohhhhhhhh the face on that guy!

Nice work, daCheez!
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Had to bring this thread up to show us Eric's very entertaining video.
Still works after all these years. Video link in the first post.
Welcome back Eric BTW.

 Bravo! BTW, I liked the track plan, the use of sinuous S waves
gave the trains a dramatic feel- much better than a straight shot down
the back forty.

LOL, this video is awesome!
Quite ingenious - I loved the upside down hopper running by itself, PowerTorque style.
