this is a 15 minute video on my solo op sesssion. the work begins at Mobest yard with a pair of life like / proto gp60's equipped with digitrax decoders & hauling 7 cars to be switched in N. Glendale. the  momentum on these locos still need to be programmed, so my coupleing is a little harsh. hope you enjoy the video. i look forward to your comments
