You could probably get some airplane bottles of Smirnoff and chock and chain them to flats. Great idea.

 

the seconds from the last shot of the caboose until the engines reappear. At this speed (20 SMPH) about 45 seconds There's room for at least 20 more cars w/o the engineer ever seeing the caboose.  

 

I'm betting the engineer is tipping back a few cold ones! LOL Getting ready to take care of that in just a couple of minutes.

Well I do have a flat of Marlboro Snus containers right after the Horseshoe Curve Beer car.

 

I started setting cars @ 12:45 PM. Including 30 minutes of unmolested running, I finished packing everything back up at 5:00 PM. This was pretty much a non-stop day. When I figure out how to do video on my wife's SLR, I'll shoot it again.

 

Many thanks to Peter for shooting this on his tablet and posting it for me. The locomotives were pulling less than 3.5 amps. And (knock on wood) we had zero coupler failures.

 

While you can't clearly make it out, the last car in the consist is Graves Mortuary Supply. For obvious reasons, there are very limited venues where I can get away running this thing. It is the longest consist to ever run on this layout.

What if there was a real train of sin. Like, instead of the Fleet of Modernism, there is the Fleet of Hedonism.  I'm thinking Hugh Hefner is the engineer, it is all inclusive food and drinks of course, wild parties nonstop in the parlor cars, twenty ounce steaks and turkey legs you eat with your hands in the dining car, big goblets of drink all around, poker cars....  Eh, I'm sure somebody's done it before.

Favorite Spirits? - Yes I have them all and still run them as a group on occasion.

 

The only sin here is that Pabst and Coors were included with a train full of things that are actually beer!!
