Beautiful work John.  Your layout presents the most compelling case I've ever seen (heard?) for sound equipped power.  I was on the Bellevue grounds a few times but could only imagine watching a power swap during the transition era.  I got to see it today via your time machine.  Thanks.

Your layout and the video are absolutely incredible, John. I think this is the first time I've actually been jealous of you guys with DCC and sound. It may even make me reconsider.

The closest thing I have is one MRC/Rowa NKP Berkshire I got in about 1970. Strictly DC, though.

:D

It's so realistic, I expect to see smoke pouring out of those Alcos any second.

Nope, hadn't seen those.

Interesting stuff!  Might have to find a place for the depot . . .

I know Atlas just rereleased their Maywood station that closely resembles NKP design. I'd imagine if you splice two kits together you might have something that looks like it. I'd do it, but I'm short on space and will eventually put the station restaurant next to my Maywood (Bellevue) depot.

Nope, don't mind.  :D

That article turned out better than I expected . . . I took the photos, and worried that they wouldn't be "professional" enough, but I think they looked fine.
