Very nice Railroad indeed. I hesitate to call it a layout.

Thanks for the ride.

Great video.  Thanks for posting.

Hi Alan - Thanks for the ride on the elevated line, I still like riding the train and asking the conductor for a transfer to the downtown loop.

Awesome!!! Perfect speed for the train so we can really take in the sights. 

Great ride around your lay-out on the elevated, thanks for posting.

Will be waiting for more!

Gorgeous!

Alan

Fantastic.  How many years have you been working on the layout?

Alan, saw it last night right after you posted it. It was a great ride. From the view point it really made your buildings pop out and the HD allowed the showing the details of your buildings. Also from the vantage point it gave a great view of your layout. Looking forward to the next ride!!!

One thing to note: For all of us who grew up in Chicago and remember the rebuilding of the CTA North south line between Howard and Wilson in the 70s. Alan raised platforms at the EL station reminded me of all the temporary platforms they had built. ( Granville (north bound side) and the big one at Loyola). Thinking about it. I find it interesting how Alan's layout sparks memories of my youth. You would think Alan grew up in Chicago.

Nice ALAN!!!!  Thank you for the ride!!!

Alan,

   Always nice taking a ride on your RailRoad, especially the upper level.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Alan,

Nice Ride! The video photography is so clear and the lens angle is wide enough that the view includes much of your layout, not just a narrow view ahead. Great job and fun to watch!

Fred 

That was one el of a ride!

Alan, I notice at the beginning of the video by (0:04) there is a man in a red jogging suit, who appears to be about to run in front of your train!

That was very neat!  Love these type of videos.  Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Alan.

Alan

Thanks for the ride, I felt like I needed to swipe my METRO CARD to pay my fare. It also gave a real nice perspective of the cityscape you created

Steve

Great video Alan, what a beautiful setup you have. Thanks for posting it.

Very nice Alan.

Don

Someone is having fun.  Is that allowed?  Just kidding.  That is amazing.

Thanks again guys!!  I appreciate you!  To answer some of the questions:

Lewrail....this marks the 7th year since I started the layout room.

George....you have good eyes my friend!  I didn't notice I had that guy positioned that way.  Looks like he is about to leap off the platform!!

Alan

Thanks for posting the 2nd video. Loved both of them. 

Alan,

Suggest adding the YouTube link with your video. I cannot expand the embedded view to full screen.  But if I have the link, it will expand full screen.

When you start the video, click on the YouTube logo in the lower right, it will take you directly to the video on YouTube where you can watch it full screen.  In affect, the logo on the video is the link...  Try it and let me know what happens.

Thanks,

Alan

Gauging from the positive reaction, I am hoping that OGR will, in its next great layout adventure series, include such a video.  I know that I felt a little left out in #11 after seeing yours.  Thanks for posting.

Saw more posts and so I wanted to thank you all again!

WB47:  the layout has so much more work that has to get done for such a video that I don't think it will be anytime soon!!

Thanks,

Alan

Alan, that is fantastic.  You are a true credit to OGR .   Thank you for posting this.  I hopefully will see your layout soon.

Marty

Howdy, Alan.

Any chance you can build a spur to my layout so I can hop aboard? Fantastic!

Thanks for the post.

Yep worked great.  Learned something new, as I did not realize that there was a way to do this and not obvious looking at the embedded Youtube picture.  Sort of like knowing what all the "unpublished hidden secret" key combinations shortcuts for Microsoft products are.

Another thanks is in order for those most recent comments! 

RRMAN...glad it worked for you!!

Alan

Nicely done it affords one another great view of great city scene!

Nice track work! straight as an arrow.

Thanks again!!  I will be posting the 2nd video ride on the EL in a new topic...
