Likewise, brother. There is a very long, honourable tradition of Christians, both clergy and otherwise who love trains over here in the UK. Join the club.
I feel like the crash represents the war traffic and lack of materials, due to the tender on the 176 distinctly being a war bonds livery, when it could've easily been a typical tender. This would align with how a lot of locomotives took hits during this time. Regardless of my theory being true or not, this is some real quality work, you deserve so much more attention man, keep it up!
An observation - whether intentionally or not, you mimicked Darara521's editing flourish of superimposing 2 clips of moving trains over each other very well. That was a blast from the past. Also noteworthy - mixing the "wohoo!" In the chorus in with whistle sounds is a stoke of genious. I most enjoyed the freight section with those wonderful transition era vibes, but the entire video is excellent.
@@engineerskalinera You notice things very well! Yes Dajara521’s videos were always favorites of mine so I did indeed mimic his style without even noticing it myself. The way he told stories with just a song had a big influence on me. Thank you for the compliments!
Im glad I discovered this video, I have been looking for a route with a roundhouse that is set in the late steam era! I noticed you said this Indiana Western route was found on the DLS and Approach Mediums discord server, can you clarify the author of the route? The only one on the DLS I found that matches vaguely is from MSGSapper, however there is also the route set in the 60s-70s by bbarnes005, could you clarify this please? Thank you!
All I can think of now is making a short with that edit of The Outfield's song "your Love" where they have someone singing kind of clunky and then it comes into the proper song at "you know I like my girls a little bit older" and just have it cut from a moden EMD Locomotive do something like a streamlined NYC Hudson highballing past them lol
Steam engines may be old and may be weak but they are still useful no matter what, in the older days we used these engines And got things there and back and on time, these engines are still around now and they are very useful!!!!!
Nice work bringing big steam together from across the ages! The 2-8-8-2 from 1910-1920, the Challenger from 1930-1950, and good old 1218 from present day!
What an incredible production by Trainz. For people coming across Trainz for the first time, this would be unbelievable. My favorites are still the frieght cars, all murky and "weathered" looking and incredible details of the road names. The BP station was fabulous. I'm 79. Oct. 1, 2023, St, Joseph, MO, USA.
