Both videos worked fine and looked good. 
You might want to send the MoW gang out to check that first water barrel platform in the first video, though - it musta been filled with heavy water.
Gus, if there are any plastic parts on or near that pilot truck, you may want to remove the grease and replace it with either some plastic compatible lubricant or a puff or two of Kadee's "Grease 'Em" graphite.
Non-plastic compatible oils and greases can do nasty things to some plastics:

Is there a fix for this..?? I tried "packing" the axles with some thick automotive grease I had lying around, but that didn't fix it. Any ideas..??
