I see the replicated scene in all its glory at 4:14. Great Job and another superb model!

[trainchugger]

You guys really were ahead of the curve with the virtual railroad documentaries, really makes everything professional!

[LePenguin]

That... was... cooler than I expected I'm buying it!

[HighballHank]

here's an idea for another project : Reading Crusader

This video made me so nostalgic.

As a little boy one of my favorite passtimes was watching old Rail Videos and Pentrex movies, and the last few scenes of the video bear a striking resemblance to part of Today's Steam Across America, except in that one there were a bunch of people sitting on the tender as she backed past the camera.

The irony is that I hope to get this soon. It's so beautiful! I also live SO CLOSE to 819!

(Faint "Southern Pacific Roll On" is heard in the distance)

The scene at 4:06 is amazing. My grandfather had a old video he took when he was chasing the 819 through Gorham. It is a truely beautiful scene. I have an idea of what you use to make the scenes. Such as backdrops, and some of the speed trees. Cannot wait for the next suprise release!

[steam]

I also love the way how you did to the 844's wheels at 0:43

[madjames]

Am I the only one who noticed that this video is 8 minutes and 19 seconds long

[jakarate]

Excellent job on the engine and video! I love that you got Bill Ratner to narrate again, too.

[meredithwilliams]

This is just amazing. Keep up the great content work!

[coalcountry]

Superb job. Been waiting for this since it first popped up on the projects board. Cannot wait for payday tomorrow :)

[clearegtower]

I know how frustrating and time consuming these must be to create, but know that your work is appreciated. Another outstanding job!

[mr.c.railway]

I love this locomotive!!! It was the first steam locomotive I have ever seen. BTW I love that the timing on the video is 819

[serpentstudios]

_It was worth the wait! I'll get more K&L locos when having enough time and money._

[trainman]

this is awesome you made the 819 i also looked on your project list that you'll be making stuff for the Milwaukee road like the class a Hiawatha and i'm excited for that (just as southern 630)

[dijuanebaugh]

I remember this steam locomotive. It got the pack included the southern pacific gs-8 number 4487.

[owenmeschter]

I love it when the video is the number of the engine

[garyvaughn]

wow cool promo on the 819 i like it real cool
