Thank you for the nearly 2 minute video of an engine, sitting, basically in the dark, with it's horn blowing the entire time. Was that really worth a video? I'm sorry but wow.

I really should have read the other posts in this thread before wasting almost a minute of my life on this.

Congrats, you just got another YouTube hit.

I wouldn't mind having all these YouTube videos that MQT3001 posts be condensed down to a single topic, instead of adding a new one for each GR video.
