[@josiahholland1842]

this looks like Tony Sava's 4449 MOC

[@thecraneandtrainguy]

This one is equally impressive as Tony's!!!

[@savatheaggie]

​@thecraneandtrainguy so this was not built with the SRW Locomotive Works Daylight instructions?

[@thecraneandtrainguy]

@@savatheaggie ,Hi Tony! I have no idea if the builder used your instructions or not. He did not reference that in our video or at the show that we were at.

Amazing trains and congrats on the win

[@djg6910]

How are you powering this? Is there a motor in the locomotive or is it train motors driving the tender? How about the control and sound system - DCC or Lego PUP or PF or SBrick? Looks just like the Tony Sava model I built and posted videos of here several years ago.

Looks awfully close to @savatheaggie model and instructions!
