Connie on the West Well

[maxi-model]

I have taken the plunge. My very first attempt at a video, so please excuse the rank amateurism. The train crew are a bit confused, they don't quite know why their part of New Mexico has suddenly gained a few UK style features. Thank for you assistance with my queries that made this possible.

Thank you for the supportive comments. Yes, the snow plough is a no brainer to add to the Connie, I can revert back to the standard pilot with the turn of a couple of screws as well. I was trying for the C21 look, it is getting there but will fool no one. The music, welllll ... nothing like a bit of Flaco Jiminez/Tex Mex down New Mexico way, I'm sure the engineers on the Cumbres and Toltec will be familiar . I'll try to get a bit more adventuous next time with the camera angles (and actually frame the shots right and have the loco running at a steady pace). The cat, after 1 year, is still not too sure about trains in the garden, they scare the birds away (no fun).
