New Video - Lionel Tunnel Motors SD40T-2 and SD40-2 "Desert Victory"

I think it is fair to say you missed your calling as a video producer. Another great video I had to watch again. Super

Awesome video, Don!

Don,

I am always fascinated when I see multiple trains moving at the same time. You do so good at focusing on one train and while others become background and foreground. Would you consider giving a master class in video production? Thank you for your effort, very enjoyable while my own layout remains mired in sawdust.

I concur.  Don's videos are always a highlight of my forum sessions

David, Kevin, Bill and Jason. Thanks guys for the kind words. Kevin, I hate to divulge all my secrets….I was thinking about writing an article for the magazine on photography and videography instead of one about working on my layout.

A decent video can be made with an iPhone but I prefer a digital camera on a tripod. “No shake” is mandatory. Using a camera, I can control depth of field, etc. Basically the same settings as taking a picture.

Thanks again guys and stay tuned. Wrapping up the next video right now.

Stunning outstanding amazing and super cool!

Don - Super video, thanks for sharing

@3rail, Donald, this video and your last video with the F3 UP passenger train a few weeks ago are Fantastic, well designed, your layout is a great stage for your beautiful trains to go through. Thank you very much for sharing your talents with us. Happy Railroading Everyone

Hey Don - My new Sunday morning ritual / a cup of coffee and watch your latest video / as always awesome and thank you

I REALLY like the "staged still shots" at the end - gives me a chance to study and appreciate your layout - please keep them coming although I know they are time consuming and hard work - Thx again

William, Don and Larry. Thanks for all the kind words!

Thank you very much for the kind words. Next weekend there may be a “BigBoy” for your viewing pleasure!

Having the “stills” at the end allows me to take quality shots of the equipment and my layout. Photography is more relaxing as I do not have to deal with portable lighting. Staging them in 3 second bursts along with the background music is fun to create. I enjoy watching just the stills myself!

Excellent video, UP and trailers on flat cars, doesn't get much better for me
