2014 Trackmaster redesign

[Super]

this video shows on the of the steepest grades in new zealand. its a 1 in 35 grade, and almost every train struggles. its called westmere bank and is just outside my town. all locos heading north to the milk plant must tackle it.

this isnt my video. i was filming from one of the carriages, but it didnt come out too well.

Fantastic, thank you Sunhuntin for posting this. That Ab663 is beautiful. Love her lines and colors, she is awesome. And her whistle sounds super. Every time I heard it she sounded like she was screaming in pain as she struggled up the hill. That is until the last whistle when she seemed to be cheering "I made it". Also loved those red and white coaches and they were all the same design. Many times you see a mixed variety on the old steam trains. And that tender, very cool with both a water tank and coal storage. It looks to be part of the engine as it seems too close for any coupling articulation to occur. I have watched the video several times as she sure is so beautiful.
