This would great if they actually pulled a train of somekind, and went someplace. I believe its just a light engine in the yard.
Last year I heard of two photo specials that allowed guys to run the engine with the entire train for a few miles. That would be fun, especially if you can take her up to speed!!! To really capture the EXPERIENCE you need a train, and conditions at least somewhat like the old days. Would love to do something like that on the D&S or C&TS with a train. Imagine yourself thinking you are engineer climbing to Silverton along the highline in 1952, or starting up at Cresco with a freight after a water stop!
Not to knock the 1225 bunch, cause a lot of folks have done the program and really enjoyed it.
