The layout is 238 square feet.  The section along the wall is 4'x17 1/2', the back mountain section is 5'x11', the next wall section is 4'x9', and the city area is 8 1/2'x 9'.

The building on the right is a Ameritowne kit by OGR. It is the Homestead Furniture kit #443.  I cut the side walls to make it fit in the narrow space that I have.  The rest are Korber Models kits.  The two lighter color brick buildings are from the same kit, the Pickle Factory.  I just cut the side walls down to make two buildings from one.  There are two one-story buildings that came from another kit.  Did the same thing to that building.  Cut it up to make two building fronts.  The four story building is the Apartment Building kit.  It comes as is so there's no cutting needed to be done.  Korber is starting to make a few more kits like the Apartment Building to fill in spaces just like this.

Thank you for sharing

PS. What camera did you use?

Alex,  the camera used is a Sony HXR-MC50U.  For the upper loop and the inner main loop, the camera was mounted to a skeleton log car.  For the outside main, the camera was mounted on top of a two-bay coal hopper.

Johnny,

 

Thank You! I had always used either a Flip or a Sony Bloggie camera for the ‘from the train POV’ videos not realizing that I could use my much better Canon Vixia HFM40 camera. I looked up your camera (Really Nice!) and it made me realize that my Vixia will fit nicely on a flat car, and that is what I will use for my next video.

 

Thx!

 

Alex
