Really enjoy the realism from operation to sound to video work. Only thing missing is the smell of burning diesel. Merry Christmas!

Always a pleasure to watch and admire the realistic running and appearance, when I was a kid I disliked the weathered look but now I see it as most important and you do it so well. Merry Christmas.

So many details, it looks awesome. The wires on the tunnel portal and going into the tunnel are just a step above.
