Dern tootin' there is, Earl. It will be posted as soon as Dick Karnes' product review of the Y-3 is complete and posted. I think it will answer just about every question there might be about this loco. The video shows it on a mainline run on my layout pulling a l-o-n-g string of loaded hoppers. Another shorter video shows it passing through a #6 double slip switch made from a Fast Track fixture. It runs smoothly and you can hear the sound effects better. > I sure would like to see video footage of this locomotive modernizing > Loizeaux's New York Central of California. > - Earl Henry Keep in mind that the video's goal is to show the 2-8-8-2 running at both medium and slow speeds over scale trackage. It does not emphasize scenery or pretty clouds on the backdrop or rivers or bridges. Still, it is kind of interesting if you would like to see Fred Rouse's scale conversion efforts closeup. Fred is a very talented machinist and we are lucky to have him in S scale. Nuff said for now is that it works on scale trackage and more detailed questions should be directed to Fred at SSL&S.
