In view of the impending release of the Accucraft live steam K-36, I've resurrected a video of mine of K-36 #481 pulling a train from Durango, Colorado to Silverton. There are some closeups of #481 at the beginning and of #s 480 and 481 at the end of the video.
The video has lots of huffing, puffing, smoke, steam plumes, plus clickity-clack and K-36 sounds. There is a spectacular view of the ledge over the Animas Gorge. Since YouTube provides streaming video, watching this 10 minute video will not be a problem unless you are on a dial-up connection.
Unfortunately, some clarity was lost in converting the video from analog to digital, but the thrill of the trip is not lost.
