This video if of my 'revamped' Big Blow turbine. I installed a second QSI Titan in the middle unit, doing away with the inter-unit umbilical cables piping sound into both units from a single Titan. Having two Titans - one in the lead and one in the center unit - also did away with speed matching issues I had with the silent TCS decoder. Using a QSI programmer, I muted the turbine sound in the lead unit so it only output the diesel sound. To improve running reliability, I installed TCS KA-2 'Keep Alive' modules in the lead and center units. These changes provided a tremendous improvement in running reliability and simplicity of operation. Seen here pulling a string of Intermountain PFE reefers:

Sure runs better than Turbines did 25-30 years ago.. I'm pretty sure that it cost more than my car. But it was a hell of a beautiful thing to watch it run, congradulations!
