Pennsyfan38, if I may make a suggestion that could save you loads of trouble in the future: Don't put your locomotives directly on the carpeting. Use of piece of cardboard or something. Those engines have plastic gears that will last for years if properly taken care of. I have locos from the same manufacture timeframe as yours (and older) still running just fine. But they do need proper maintenance.
When you place your locos directly on the carpeting (especially thicker or plush pile rugs) as seen in your video, the gears if they are lubricated as they should be, can pick up small pieces of lint or dirt from the carpeting. This can cause the gears to bind up, meaning the locomotive will stop moving. Or worse it could cause damage to the gears. Just want to save you some potential trouble.
Other than that, looks like you guys are having a great time! Nice to see a dad with his son enjoying the trains! I'm a big Conrail fan too, along with the predecessor roads that went into CR.
