Criminy, at about a minute in, all the passengers get lurched forward.... and then, right as they're recovering and standing up, they get sent backwards from the sudden acceleration. Warm up the attorneys....
Looks like that fan trip operator's slogan is "Get In, sit down, shut up and hold on!"

I've been on tourist railroads that were exactly like that...
I'll leave them nameless to save the ham fisted engineers pride haha

Okay, help those of us who don't understand the significance of 6069 with deleting and keeping your mouth shut.

That ballast in the yard is terrific.  What a great, realistic look.

You forgot the number boards...

My solution is 4 pt. type printed on label stock then sealed to the lens with some gloss mod podge.  Just do a reverse color block to get white numbers that light can get through.

Oh I know. I do something similar, but I use a layer of packing tape over the printed numbers before mounting with canopy glue. Same idea though.
