Happy Friday everyone! Congratulations on making it to the homestretch of 2016. It's time for another Weekend at the Movies! 

 

Last week was another stellar week, with GP and SD9s, Marx, the Strasburg, a Q1s, and an E33: https://ogrforum.com/t...t-the-movies-12-9-16 

This week, I have two short clips of a coal train operating on Ken Hanawalt's switching-centric HO layout, as well as a repost of my short chase of J 611 in 2015. 

Let's see your videos!

As I said on the "real train" forum the Maui Sugar Cane Train is running again after a shutdown of about a year and a half. The steam engines will be rebuilt starting next week. A sad note is the very last sugar cane plantation closed this week. There will be no sugar cane grown on any of the Hawaiian Islands. The last sugar shipment sailed yesterday. This little video is of our train running the first and second nights. They were running with two nightly runs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday. All seats were sold out so now they will run every night tell Christmas. Lots of new things planned in the future. Don

Last night down at the station: There was lots of clanging and banging as an RS-11 moved a cut of boxcars through the station. Emergency stop called when a switch was noted not to be aligned properly. All was OK, and the cut continued its movement, clearing the station just prior to the PRR limited arriving behind a GG1. The baggageman wanted his wife to know he was on the train, so he flashed the car lights as the train arrived.

Horns on the Plymouth that's great, now all that's needed is a red nose.
