Beautiful scenery...
After living in Wisconsin for 10+ years, it's fall I miss the most. :cry:
Is that a SW 1500..?? I am in the process of finishing one (Athearn kit), but having a helluva time fitting a decoder in it. Is yours DCC..??
Let's see some more of that layout...

That worked very good!
The engine looks like an Athearn Genesis MP15AC to me.

Reinhard is correct ,the loco is an Athearn Genesis MP15ac with dcc sound. You can check out the loco in action on my old layout - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcz-2A_uhqo&list=TLJ0vCcywcqVM6ZWRkPDiRNRgWhGiNUtjV">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcz-2A_u ... gWhGiNUtjV</a><!-- m -->

As we enter the start of the fall season, the foliage colors are already beginning to change at CSX Transflo,NY.
Check out this video to combine some 'leaf peeping' with railfanning CSX Transflo,NY.

I know there are some poeple that don't like sound!! But I think it makes a switching layout !!!!!!
Loco sounds great!!!!

Thanks.
I agree, although I find that one loco with sound is sufficient on a small switching layout . With two or more locos sound can become irritating.
I've always felt that the part of the attraction of real diesel locos is their sound. Silent model locos no longer have much appeal to me.

For my latest video I've been experimenting with adding some 'notch up' to my Athearn Genesis MP15AC.
Here's how it sounds <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVQGHvDUnhU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVQGHvDUnhU</a><!-- m -->
