Just came across this video from July 2023.
I live about 15 miles away. Years ago when I was visiting customers in Canby I would sometimes see the operations.
This will get you motivated If you ever wanted to build a small, modern, shortline. Just looking at the beat up track and ballasting gives me ideas.
Okay so I think I just found my next layout, awesome!
Totally awesome video! Reminds me of my youth when the Rock Island came to my home town three to five days a week on average and switched out various customers in and around the neighborhood we lived in. Worth the watch!
I will eventually tear down my current switching layout and use this one as inspiration.
I also just ordered a Rapido GMD-1 lettered for the OP.
I sent an email to Rapido. I asked if there is going to be another release of the SW1200 how about one for the OP. They were purchased from the CN, so it shouldn't take any retooling just paint & lettering.
I did have to buy the GMD-1....just in case.
