Glancy Trains at the March 2013 Gratiot Valley Show

SantaFe158OGR Forum Member

Some footage of the Glancy Modular layout at the 2013 Gratiot Valley Train Club show at the Macomb Community College Expo center in Warren, Michigan. I was trusted with the controls of the Lionel "Empire State Express", a very cool looking train I believe the club member running the BN train ended up having 5 locomotives (all powered) on the head end during the show, a very impressive sight. Not seen in the video, but my PRR GG1 was put on the head of the ESE cars which caused a bit of commotion between the NYC and PRR fans

Overall, a fun day.

Enjoy

It is one of my favorites of the streamlined steamers, with the others being the similar 20th Century Limited Dreyfuss hudson and the N&W J (guess it's the bullet noses I like).

This show really made me realize how many names I still have to learn. Bob's being one of them. I know I've seen most, if not everybody, that was at the show before. I'll get the whole list together in my head one of these days.
