| Great videos Nick! Nice to see the USAT GG1 out there running. What exactly does a GG1 sound file sound like anyway??? Electric humming noise? 
I heard that K4 slowing down when it got out of camera range...
And don't you just love sticky tripods? I oiled mine up to work more smoothly but think I'm going to just get a nice one that's nice and smooth eventually.
I just bought one of these tripod for my ground level stuff.http://www.ephotocraft.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=854630001001 Really slick!

| That Gorillapod works great, can't say enough good things about it. Having it so adjustable makes it very easy to use. You could hear the plastic creaking a little bit but I figure I'll either lube it or it will work itself out in time.
Figures you wouldn't find out till too late!

| Ray,
The GG-1 has all sorts of sounds from compressors to the electic motor whine , but there not very loud.. the k-4 slowed down because it was going up a grade on the corner plus it was only running on a ultima power pack whitch at max is about 16 to 17 volts, this loco really needs 24 volts to pull alot...
