[HD] N Scale Tehachapi Pass Large Model Railroad Layout Cab Ride & Tour (with signals!)

[Update 5/17/2015: All signals and tunnels are now in place!] Come aboard a westbound Sante Fe hotshot for a cab ride from Cameron (if you'd like to experience 10 minutes inside the helix between Mojave and Cameron for some reason, check out my previous cab ride video) to Bakersfield on my under-construction 1100sqft home based N scale Tehachapi Pass model railroad layout! We'll cover about 19.5 scale miles of railroad, passing through famous rail locations including the line's namesake town of Tehachapi, the tunnel district between Cable and Marcel, the famous Tehachapi Loop, and the horseshoe curve at Caliente. Apologies for the scraping sounds as the train heads through a few of the tunnels; the camera car's a little taller than a double stack. ;-) Hope you enjoy the ride! ** For those who've requested, here's a link to the full track plan: http://www.jetphotos.net/ck/layoutexpansion.jpg **

3. Where did you get those great signals? I waited for 6 years for BMLA to deliver on N Scale signals then Craig sold the business to Atlas. I want the signals that you have. Where do I get them?
