Florida East Coast Railway HO Scale Custom-Painted SD40-2s Pull Port Train

My custom-painted models of FEC SD40-2s #714 and #716 power the HO Scale version of the railway's Port Train which shuttles intermodal containers between Hialeah Yard and Port Miami. The 18 car train is a "right-size" consist for the layout in which it is running on in this video.
The locomotives are Athearn undecorated models which came in Blue Boxes though definitely there are modern features on them which put them almost in the RTR category. Given ESU Loksound V5 and LED lights throughout, as well as roadnumber specific features, I aimed for whatever amount of realism I could accomplish when modeling them. These are the engines featured in the DCC tutorial posted earlier this year, and there's a more in-depth summary of these locomotives on another video on this channel.
Merry Christmas!
