New Video - Atlas Rio Grande GP7's hauling the Freight

This is a tremendous video. The layout is awesome and the video work is very well done. I enjoyed watching it a second time.  Everything looks so real and the signals add so much realism. Many thanks for sharing.

Donald!  Awesome video!  I love the high cube cars.  Nice caboose too!  As usual I love seeing your layout!

We were talking about the sound, and I think your GP7 actually sounds better than mine. The horn sound is a lot deeper.  I may have to break down and get a different speaker.

This is an amazing video, beautiful layout, trains running on top and bottom levels at a good speed, so colorful, so entertaining. Wow, keep the videos coming, they are sensational. Thank you very much. Happy Railroading Everyone

What an amazing layout, thank you for the magnificent Rio Grande video. I am in awe!

those new atlas GP’s are really right at home in great company!

Don,

Let me add my thank for the video. Wish I'd ordered one of the GATX heritage hi-cubes. Looks cool. Did get one of the ordinary GATX hi-cubes.

hey Jason. Thanks. I will share a secret with you. My GP7 most likely sounds just like yours. During post processing, I tweaked the dB’s a little on most of the clips. I also overlayed a sound track of a train on jointed rail.

So now you know my secrets. Please do not tell anybody.

I am sure I will also be doing the speaker upgrade down the road.

Take care.

Hey David. Thanks for the kind words. Those GATX heritage hi-cubes are nice. I am finally learning after a long time….when MTH and now Atlas announce anything called “hi-cube”, immediately place your order because they will go fast once issued.

Take Care.

Another great video of your layout and trains! Thanks for sharing!

Don, Very nice job with the camera work, the video editing, and the layout! Very impressive!

I have a looooong way to go to come close to your layout.

Thanks Chris. I enjoy the photography and video editing as much as the trains! Slow and steady wins the race!

3Rail: I love your videos and your layout truly spectacular. The videos are very well done as if your are a professional videographer.

Hey Rick. You words are truly inspiring. Thank you. I always had an interest in photography and years ago I moonlighted as a photo journalist. Today, I still write for the magazine. I only recently got interested in videos. My layout lacks the proper lighting for videos so I have to supplement with portable studio lights. I do not like some of the unrealistic shadows that show up from time to time. A lot of the magic occurs in post processing that ties all the clips together to tell a story.

Thanks again Rick.

@3rail - Great video.  Loved the "new" Atlas GP-7's great looking locomotives.  Thanks for posting.
