Nice. It always looks good to see a nice long train going past. I know it has been said to shorten train lengths to suit ones railway layout size but I'd rather have a full length and count the passing wagons then have something that is short. May be it is because when I was young I used to run to the garden and watch the trains pass, and I always counted the wagons or coaches that the train was pulling! I remember when the first High Speed Train passed. We lived about half a km away or less from the railway but had a very good view. I remember the noise the origional engines had with those trains. They made a whistling sound.
