I wonder if they have a layout?

That's a lot of cars and engines just to run on the carpet!

Very neat!

Somebody just "HAD" to do it. Now for the questions. How many locos were there and how many cars? What was the ratio of power to load?

Hey King Toot

I guess it's like mountain climbing, all I can think of is why?

It made me dizzy I could not watch it all.

241 cars, 9 engines.
13,500 hp
6,025 tons
2.24 hp/ton ratio.

real question is what the wife said when she got home and saw the trains ran through the house.

Ah, so you did see the totals for the engines and cars. And you had time at work to work out the rest, eh. Now, all we need is them to be run the other way so we can regain our equilibrium.

If anyone in future says they just want a layout to watch trains go round and round, better sticky this one to refer them to.

Hmmm...
Has that person uploaded any videos since that one? If not, you may have your answer...
