double head steam

Clem,

Nice perspective, and the double header passenger train is a neat surprise.

Thanks for the help

Clem

Neat video; thanks for posting.

First rate! Great  scenery. Liked that high speed passenger and whistle.

Nice! I like the logging scene. Not something you see much of outside On30 layouts.

Great video. Sounds like you are running MTH locomotives.

Clem,

 

Nice video and layout!

When the other train went by, you could hear a bit of doppler effect and this added realism. Well done.

 

Thanks for sharing!

awesome video!!  thanks for posting!!

Really Nice! I like that Lumber harvesting scene!

Love the Niagaras.

Thanks for the comments......I'm glad you noticed the doppler effect, you have to do about 80mph to notice. The logging scene was put down fast to cover an area the morning of my open house, it is temporary, I will be putting in crossover's there and a second level. the second level I think will be like the atlas york display. That should fill in the center of my island oval. So far everything comes apart in 2x8 foot sections. The trains will be able to access either elevation and reverse direction.

Hey anyone want to see this video again?

A very enjoyable trip.

Great views

Thanks

Very nice video.  Enjoyed watching!

really nice and the layout detail id even better!!!

Really nice, Clem.  Enjoyed it.

Very nice video, enjoyed it.

 

Thanks,

Nice video.  Have you completed the temporary area, and built your 2nd level?  If so, how about re-shooting your video with the 2nd level included.

Great video. Your layout has so many wonderful scenes.

I really like the COFC (camera on flat car) perspective!

Nice video and great layout.  The train ride had a nice tempo to it with the whistle work. Which locomotives led the freight?

Great video Clem. I enjoyed it. I like all that NYC steam. You have a very nice layout. I like how the train appears to move through different towns. As mentioned the log scene is very well done along with the single stall engine house. Nice use of the Doppler effect!

Thanks~ I like that term COFC. The train is pulled by two NYC Mikado's, I forgot to get the chuff out of sequence. This is a big oval in this video, last winter I rebuilt and put a peninsula in the middle. It now as a 2.2 precent grade to climb. All the scenery was reused or expanded. If it rains today I'll try do do the same video on the current layout. Have to practice with my new camera.

How'd you double head the steamers?  This has been something that I've noticed, and it has bugged me, but most nice steamers don't have front couplers!  Of the four I have, only one does, and it's a little Lionel 0-6-0 Dockside, not exactly the double heading type.  Nor can I do a helper with a steamer.  Do you have to mod the locomotives, or have you found ones that actually have a front coupler?

Hi sinclair~ The MTH premier steamers come with a optional dummy three rail coupler. I run them as a lash up in DCS. An 0-6-0 sure can double head. I had two little 0-4-0 Lionel steamers and doubled them pulling a log train, looked great. I have seen video's of switchers used as rear helper getting trains moving out of yard.

Awesome layout. looking forward to part 2

 

Great video. I loved when that fast passenger train passed by.

Totally cool !!

Okay, my steamers are Rail King or K-Line since I'm limited to O36 curves.  I'll have to remember this for the future.  Too bad I can't fit O72 on the layout I'm planning.  But that isn't to say I can't use it along the ceiling...

I not up on all the video cameras out there.

 

what video camera is this?

The camera is a small Sony Cyber shot in video mode. Someone was kind enough to post the expansion of this layout on the three rail scale forum.
