Happy Early Weekend OGR! I just posted a new video featuring a GoPro Cab ride around my double reverse loop. I think this one is a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Have you considered buying a Lionel WiFi camera car? They make a theater car that would be PERFECT for your collection.
Awesome GoPro tour of the layout Jason. I think this particular camera perspective is greatly underrated.
Very cool video taking a ride around the layout Jason. It's cool to see that double reverse loop from the perspective of the engine.

Just bought one Chris! The UP observation car for the Big Boy

That means you can do a video just like this one, but from the perspective of the end of the train. Wouldn't that be cool!!
You should do the next ride pulled by a Legacy Locomotive
It can be a great tool for doing scenery around the layout, it gives you a proper perspective on what it really looks like. When Lionel ( and others ) came out with their on board lipstick camera, many of us thought ,it was going to be the next big thing but it just died out
Most excellent!!!!!

JD, that was a treat. Thanks for sharing.

I watched the video today. Putting the camera on a flat car in front of the train is great. I really want to see cameras placed into the actual locomotive cabs on both Lionel and MTH O-Scale diesel and electric locos (and even steam locos if possible) so operators could film videos from the perspective of the engineer and so they wouldn't have to use a camera mounted on a flat car on the front of the train.
Jason, I'm still waiting to see the turntable install video, the roundhouse build video, the signal and wiring videos, and perhaps scenery added to your layout. I also have another video idea for you: a loco roster video where you showcase all your current locomotives. I am so jealous about your layout. It's massive. Keep up the good work.
Great video, Jason. I enjoyed viewing your layout from that perspective.
great layout really well done love the high-quality video!

Outstanding!
Awesome! That was so cool.
That's one serious loop, have you figured out how many feet of track that traverses?

John - Not yet! I'll have to record the trip the next time I'm running the double reverse loop.

Jason, great layout. I enjoy your YouTube channel and seeing your layout develop. Maybe a bit tactical, but I was curious how you attached the GoPro to the flat car.
