Great documentary on UP's turbine locomotives, with lots of background info and plenty of footage of them in action...

Great video Garfield. Like the shots (at 14:46) of the crew member walking about the roof of the loco as it shunts along the servicing road. Obviously no H&S worries in those days!

Available in model form from Athearn, the sweetest running loco I own. They do the verandas and originals. I fitted sound to her. They're doing big discounts on the Verandas at the moment.
