My Original Camelback

Among the many original Protosound (PS1) steam locomotives that I converted to Protosound 2 (PS2), there were a handful that I chose not to convert due to the engineering challenges.  Those were the SP Cab Forward, the WVP&P Shay, and the CNJ Camelback, all of them not your typical steam locomotive.  In each case, I instead bought a PS2 version of that particular locomotive type and True HD 1080p videos of all of those have already been posted.  Recently, I posted a video of the original PS1 Cab Forward.  It was well received, so here now is a True HD 1080p video of the original PS1 CNJ Camelback Ten-Wheeler (4-6-0) in operation.  It's a RailKing model whereas the newer one is Premier, but as you can see by comparing the two videos, it's still scale-sized.  I've gussied it up a bit, painting various appurtenances and adding a real coal load.  While not as detailed as the newer Premier model, it's still quite an attractive locomotive and, as you can see in the video, it runs quite well and the sound isn't all that bad for something that came out in 1999.  It's hauling a mixed consist of various CNJ freight cars; the two at the tail end may be a surprise as I've never before shown them in a video.
