How about some Sunset F7's in action! Video

The automobile rolling up to the crossing is a nice touch.  Well done.

Better audio quality. Stereo is preserved.

Thank you Bob!

Thanks for posting the video Eric.  My PRR F7's should arrive later this afternoon. But unfortunately they prototypically won't have that neat mars light effect'

 

Ed

Your welcome Ed,

I just LOVE your amazing railroad.

Thank you

You had me going there, Erik.  The only thing that gave it away was the empty car. 

 

Great modelling. 

Love those BW's!

Nice job Erik. Aren't those mars lights fantastic?  These SS F-7's are very, very nice models and run great. 

 

Butch

I have to try to find a Mars light like that for my 3rd Rail GS4s.  The bright blue Mars light in those is kind of a disappointment.

Once again nice!!!  The opening shot has that vintage film tint to it, that's cool. Any way you can apply that to the whole video? 

Hey Butch, they sure are. And considering the price point I don't know Scott does it. He's a miracle worker!

       
       

Thank you LOS!

       
       


Yeah how about some alternate takes.

Erik

 

Yes, that is very nice all the way around.  Is that the Sunset sound system we are hearing?

FYI:  2R Diesels Mars Light effect is built into the QSI Titan Decoder. 3R Mars Light is performed by ngineering.com circuit. Available at the same web site: www.ngineering.com  along with a plethora of lighting effect circuits.

 

Erik, amazing photography, especially like the car pulling up to the tracks. That just made my eyes pop out.

 

Scott Mann

The car approaching was a nice touch.

 

 

i think you can find a good LED-driving Mars Light circuit here:

Nice job Erik

Thanks Clem!

I coulda swore I saw a driver in there. 

Even driver-less cars know how to approach a RR crossing, not one of them tried to beat the train

 

We/I need Erik to get one of those huge spatulas to spread some of that artistic know-how around to us lesser beings, your photography and videography (is that a word?) AND modeling skills are right up there with the best.

Great video Eric. I like the beginning when the F7s pull into the curve. The way they are slightly leaning is extremely realistic. The entire scene is. For a minute I thought I was looking at an old film.

Excellent video Erik!  Thanks for sharing.  I also have to give a nod to the PRR head end cars in your video

Hey thanks Jonathan; I really appreciate the compliments. I just love the Sunset 3rd Rail products. Keep up the great work.

       
       


The filters are a treat for sure! I'm always trying to set the stage of realism and if I can fool the viewer into thinking it's real. You guys are too sharp; but when I show these to regular folks they walk away thinking I am full of potatoes, "That's not a model!"

Bob that's funny..

I just talked to a buddy last night about grade crossing accidents. He's an engineer for BNSF, since 1996. He is still amazed at the relative suppressed IQ of a good share of drivers he encounters on trips.

Eric:

 

These short snipets are way too cool. 

 

Your imagination and creativity always impress.

regards,

Jerry

 

Wow thanks Jerry.

Excellent video. The car driving up really is a good touch. Thanks for posting it.

Erik,

 

Fantastic video and realistic effects!  Thank you for posting!

Thank you Chris and Mike.
