Awesome work my friend...truly inspiring!
Wow That train is amazing Thanks for sharing that piece of history

Watched the movie again a few days ago and by far one of the best scenes is the train and mongo. i had always thought of bulding an rc one myself. Beat me to it but it looks amazing cant wait to see it finished!
