    SP lives in my world so here is a short vid to show off the Heritage units plus two of my foobies. All of the units have Digitrax, non sound decoders and have been speed matched as follows: throttle setting @5 = 20smph, throttle @14 = 40 smph, and finally throttle @28 (wide open throttle) = 70 smph. So some of these shots appear to be a race, they are running @ 70smph. Actually, I need to kick up the full throttle to 80 or 90 smph so that I have reserve for climbing the grades.

    Three of the units are KATO and one is FVM. Yes, I put a KATO motor into the FVM. I painted my favorite SP paint scheme on the two BW's and super detailed the point AC4400CW. I am sort of afraid to run these older units because I think repair parts are few and far between.

    Some of the containers are foobies as I have been having fun making decals of many logos. I mean Coors Light on a container or Blue Moon as a couple of examples. Enough BS, enjoy:



    Thanks for watching and even now be safe,
    Carl
