Virginian Railway 2-10-10-2 Pull Test - 2% Grade

Testing my Virginian AE class 2-10-10-2 brass model from NJ Custom Brass on the North Shore Model Railroad Club layout http://www.nsmrc.org/. I've been working on this locomotive (on and off) for a year and a half at this point improving it mechanically to get it to run and pull well. I finally finished the majority of the mechanical modifications and did a temporary DCC and sound installation to test it out before I paint it. I actually didn't intend to publish this video, but when I got almost 100 views and a couple comments from sharing it on a couple of groups I figured I might as well.
