This Loco shown in the video for the longest time was stored at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds until U.P purchased it again and has it in WY being restored. You can find it's movement from storage which was pretty neat moving it and towing it out.

I have my own N-gage set and take my trains to our local club and run them with DCC. You can really get hooked on these PC games. I have this game and I have caught myself playing it for a whole day and do nothing else other than feed the fish.

We have the Illinois train museum up in Union, Ill., which is about an hour north of us....we've taken the kids up there for day a few times..usually photography day....they run more trains that day..lots to see and a fun day for all..I love crawling up into the old engines and walking/looking around... ;D
