Pictures and Video's of recent action on the MRR from my own, and many friends power, and sometimes their own entire train's operating on the QA&P MRR, will be shown on this thread. You never know which RR's power will show up. Here we have 2 Blue Box Athearn (early run) SP AC4400 units that weigh at almost 2 Lbs each, weighed them with steel shot that was glued into the shell, really makes a difference in their tractive effort. 47 cars ( I think) and a caboose. 1 1/2% ruling grade, there are a couple places where the grade lessens and the train speeds up a little. I am trying to keep the voltage down to keep wheel spin to a bare minimum. I had to set out 5 cars before these 2 locos would pull the train up the hill. The D&RGW coal train you see in a couple of the clips is my friend Matt Darling's power. He will have his own dedicated video uploaded in a few weeks I hope. It is sometimes more work than I have time for to do these videos, as I'm not very good at it.
