Oh yes. Bring back the good old days of prohibition. ;(

Hope someone gets a count on the # of cars; and, the seconds from the last shot of the caboose until the engines reappear.
"Rails of sin, only evil remains. Watch out brother for that long black train" lol
Have been wanting that George Bush engine for a long time since I first saw it in N scale. I love the VC-25 (Air Force One) paint scheme on it.
Gee, I was expecting a clip out of an old western movie, with a coach filled with
"available ladies" rolling into the station, to be met by a representative from
Priscilla's Playhouse down the street. Those shots usually showed even the drunks
sleeping on the boardwalks ssitting up, and rolling out of the way of stamping horses.
That's nasty!
"Oh yes. Bring back the good old days of prohibition."
YES, please God.
The sin is that it is so out of focus.
What sin? That's what I call a good Friday night!!!
That's a fun way to construct a consist. Always figured Gilly was a fun guy.
Being that you're in Richmond, I expected some Philp Morris lounge cars.
That is some train. Quite a sight.

Thanks, everyone......for the replies. Tom (Gilly) says that he is looking for a Vodka car to tag onto my Tropicana Juice unit train.

I'm betting the engineer is tipping back a few cold ones! LOL
I'm waiting for the Schnabel O scale scratch built cars carrying 12 oz. bottles of Coors, Miller Lite, Bud, etc.

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.

I saw the title of the thread and my first thought was "Where do I get on"...
It's been a long week...
Peter,
Have you been around the hobby long enough to remember the Lionel "Favorite Spirits" series?
Yes, Skip.......I do...... We're they 6464 style or PostWar reefer style...i can't remember....
Peter
Just scored a Vodka car on eBay......guess we've got a Screw Driver train now too!

Train of Sin? Where are the brothel sleeping cars?
To complete our sin trains we need a Scrapple car.

Add a flat car full of "ladies" and then we have a party...
That's just the beer delivery for York week!!
No Yuengling? yea, that is a sin...
No Yuengling? yea, that is a sin...
On my buy-list. There is one on eBay right now, but it is out of my price range.

Peter,
Have you been around the hobby long enough to remember the Lionel "Favorite Spirits" series?
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!!
How many shots does it take to run that train?
For some reason I am very thirsty. Great video.
Many thanks,
Billy C
This is a compelling thread title! Be a great song, book, or movie. The train vid is a bit of a letdown after a title like that!
Pete
In Heaven you've never been
Till you've rode
on that Train of Sin...
I could write a good song for that in about two minutes. Or at least a passable cheesy poem.
William 1 you missed your calling Bro
Texas Pete, your right! I think my train of sin would involve a lot of sleeper cars lit up with big windows but man O scale girls like that are really expensive on ebay.
