Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on September 3rd, and had a good day operating my newly acquired Lionel Southern Pacific Cab Forward #4294 and my Lionel BNSF Genset (filmed it since I already was filming my AC-12 anyway). My AC-12 ran perfectly throughout the day, but my Lionel Genset decided to have 2 traction tires fail on it as soon as I went to do a test run. I replaced them rather quickly. But after the traction tires were replaced, engine ran without any issues for the rest of the day.
Manifest freight train: Lionel BNSF Genset #1228, Atlas O GATX (LRS) 50’ high cube boxcar, Lionel Producers Grain PS-2CD 4427 Hopper, Lionel BNSF 65' gondola (X2), MTH Pullman Standard 50' Waffle Boxcar, Lionel Ferromex Scale Autorack, MTH Railbox 50' Boxcar, Lionel MKT Scale Autorack, Atlas O TTX (On Track For A Cure) 50’ high cube boxcar, Lionel SPFE 57’ Mechanical Reefers (X3), Lionel Global Ethanol 30,000 Gallon tank cars (3-pack), and Lionel GATX 30K gallon Tank Car w/ EOT.
All of the footage is in 1080p60. Some parts will be a bit dark, due to the FPS.
