Nicely done Ralph.

Really liked it, Especially the caboose shots and near the end the   Steamer  shot taken on an adjacent track. 

Very nice camera work. A pleasure to watch.

 Very nicely done!!!! A really nice layout. Tom

Nice views of a great layout. I like it when the E units run under the camera!!!

Excellent video capture.  I love getting up close to stuff and giving it some growth to look more like the real thing.  Very enjoyable.

Very nice ! I like it.

Very nicely done Ralph - we enjoyed watching

Outstanding!

some nice choreography there with passing trains and subjects moving in and out of frame. Must have been a lot of work, but a lot of fun to do.

Thanks Ralph - I loved it!   Great tracking shots, very cool.   Wow that steamer sure smokes great.    I'm gonna watch it again.  -Ken

Ralph, I too really enjoyed this, especially the eye level "tracking" shots.  Could you describe the mechanism you used for your tracking mechanism?

Thanks for posting!

I Couldn't find your email. Is ther anyway I can down load the video. My Autistic daughter constantly is asking to watch the video. Which is great.  

Ralph....real good ! i always liked your videos..watched them alot when i started to get involved in oscale...your layout has a good vibe...nice,,conrail john

Thank you all for the kind words.  I've had the same layout and same trains for years now and it's always a challenge to find a new way to present it so that it seems "fresh".  I hit upon the idea of using the moving-camera-POV shots for an entire movie.  Seems like it worked.

@Timothy Sprague: Yes, I shot hours of video over the course of 3-4 days only to edit it down to a 12 min movie.  

>>>Wow that steamer sure smokes great<<<
@Ken-Oscale: Yes, I love my Decapod. Looks good, pulls like a mule and smokes up a storm.

>>>Could you describe the mechanism you used for your tracking mechanism?<<<
@PeterA: Pretty low-tech.  COFC - Camera On Flat Car.  Sometimes pushed, sometimes towed and sometimes helped along by a RailKing GP7 w/PS2 for the pacing shots.
