Good Day,
Anyone have videos or pictures of their 2-Rail Scale trains and layout?

See if this works. It should lead to more videos at youtube.

Chris:

No,.... nope! U want me to follow that?
Just some plywood with some trains for me. U saw them. Go away!
Beautiful video and layout, Christopher.
......and now for something completely different...
A ride-along video made on my little 6' 6''x10' layout several years ago. Shot on my ancient No-Def camera. 
Don't let the branches slap you in the face as you go.

Jim,
Great video and layout.
Guys,
Please don't be discouraged from posting. Pete, your layout is an inspiration and Joe you always take great photos of your trains. We understand a layout on plywood is a layout in progress. Many parts of my layout are still plywood.
Jim:
Thanks for posting that video. Your layout and the article about it is what inspired me to look at 2-rail some time ago. MTH offering scale wheeled Proto 3/2 is making the transition and living in both worlds possible.
PRR Man: beautiful looking layout.
Chris,
You have got to stop trying to pass off pictures of the real thing as models. I know a real train when I see one.
Ed
I just love that video Chris!!
Yeah seriously Chris your modeling is off the charts. I never get tired of seeing your excellent work....or your great roster of N&W power. It is always a treat.
Short video of big power pulling a manifest round the curve into town, past the Oscala Light and Power Company.
Squealing wheels added for effect.

All the videos on this posting are first class.
Enjoy seeing all the Scale 2-Rail Layouts.
Swafford • Thanks for putting up this posting
and
You guys alone are forcing me to rethink my modern only diesel fleet! A couple of first gen's wouldn't hurt.
If MTH made their E's with 3/2 trucks, I would have grabbed a set by now.
That set of F's, makes me think twice about why I skipped them.
I did start buying steamers after all. It started after watching so many model steam era videos.
Why draw a line in the sand on a windy day?
I've watched this clip a 1000 times. Drool over the big UP steamers, wish I had them in my collection.
Not my layout, hope you enjoy! Anyone know if the owner is a forum member? I'd love to know more about his collection.

I just launched our new YouTube page and will be adding more so keeping looking.

"Boy howdy!" as we say down here. All very enjoyable and a nice variety. Thanks.
Yeah I agree...great stuff Erik, Joe & Pete....
Just a picture taken on my small O Scale layout "Portway Center". The green boxcar isn't derailed; that's the state of the track.... :-)
Wow great photo! Tell me more about that center beam on the left...who's it made by?
Mine still needs a lot of work but here is a view of the local slowing
for a setout at the elevator.

Chris, it looks like a BN MTH premier center beam. Actually, I run a couple of them on the video I posted above
Yeah I bet your right...they are nice.
I love those F units they really look good, have you thought about fishing the tether thru the doors?
Yes it's an MTH Centerbeam, & the two hicubes are MTH as well.
Portway Center is just a small & simple switching layout, scenic part is 8' x 2', & a 4' long hidden staging. You don't need a basement empire to enjoy O Scale!! Will post a few more pics when I have time.

I've enjoyed looking at each video and photo on this thread and hearing the sounds too. It is great to see some images of railroads from people I had not seen before. I hope to see more in the future. Thanks for posting.
Good Day Gentlemen,
Great videos and pictures! Thank you for taking the time to share.
Best Regards,
Frank
Some short videos of my switching layout:
Best regards

Lars that is a very nice layout you have there..thanks for the videos.
Lars, I agree with CWEX. Very nice attention to detail. Thanks for sharing...
Excellent work, Lars. Didn't know you had any video up. Thanks for posting.

Nice work. Are the lumber and box cars converted MTH units? Is the "Portway Center" another micro or part of a larger layout?

This is his response from a few posts up...I was wondering also.
