Where'd you get it from? Big Kahuna hobbies?

Yes, right after I finished my Royale with cheese. ;)

There's a reason that the Daylight was called 'the most beautiful train in the world'...

Kato used to have a video on their site with the first run GS-4 pulling the full Daylight, including the 4 extra articulated cars around their over under figure 8 set which was well over a 4% grade, although I don't think the entire train was ever on the grade at the same time.
