Another in the series. A parody of railroad promo films of the 1950's.

Great video, Chops! These parodies have been awesome!
Quick question -- how well does that UP FP45 handle tight radius track? I'm considering obtaining an FP45 for the Ephrata Valley Railroad and just want to make sure that it will run properly. Thanks.

Not all brands are the same, but I can say that I've seen the blue box Athearn F45 derail on 18" radius turns because the trucks fouled the side ladder in the turns. I do not remember, and can't recheck, whether the truck itself hit the ladder or if it was a brake cylinder. I know that on my Athearn F7, I did not put all the brake cylinders on the trucks because they got tripped up in the ladders.

Okay, good to know. Thanks scsshaggy.
I personally have been looking at the AHM FP45's....can they handle 18'' radius track well?

Okay, I'll keep my eyes peeled for a good deal on one then.
