Awesome video's everyone,

Here's my new MTH NYC F-7 ABA Diesels, with some awesome Lionel steam engines in the background. Enjoy

Thanks, Alex

My fisrt video in a while.  Layout still has a long way to go.  Put all the steam away and thought it was time to run some electric and diesel power.

Maine Eastern FL-9s bracket a passenger train on the way to Bath , Maine last Friday  sorry for the video quality but i had to use a Canon G9 to shoot as i saw this train come off a causeway and headed to where i was driving, enjoy! Gman.

Howard,

I love the station (what we can see of it). I'm not sure I "get" the video. Oh well, here's a 199 train moving UPS and other packages west for Christmas circa 1993:

Today was the first day of the National Capital trackers modular display at Baltimore's B&O Railroad museum. Here's a view looking down at my modules. On the lower level a GG1 with TMCC rolls a short freight with the operating giraffe and brakeman cars.  Two steam passenger trains make their way across the upper level: The Empire State Express and a UP flyer.  I'll try for a better view from the spectators' side tomorrow.

Great videos everyone! Alex, love the way your trains appear and disappear on different levels!

Great day today at Baltimore's B&O Museum. I got to run my 11-car Amtrak Superliner, with Dover Harbor carrying the markers. Also met fellow OGR member pennsy 484.

Just a fantastic day.

Bill, it was nice meeting you today.  Your modules with the button activated accessories were THE draw at the layout.  It was also nice how you were letting the kids blow the whistle with your cab1.  You are a great ambassador for the hobby!  

My train video contribution is a model of a Pennsy prewar all Pulman headed up a WEAVER brass streamlined K4s Pacific steam locomotive.

Charlie, what a beautiful dog!  

Double-headed Legacy Big Boys pulling 40 cars around the B&O turntable today. National Capital Trackers are there through 12/30/12. The locos and cars are owned by Matt and I.

Great videos as usual! Looks like everyone had a great time at the museum as well. What a great way to spend some time before Christmas with the kids!

It was also great to hear that the Cab1 was passed around for the kids to try. Having little ones myslef, you can't underestimate the value of that in promoting the hobby. Thanks for doing it!!

Thanks for the nice words, Pennsy484. good to meet you as well. I learned the idea of kids blowing the whistle with a cab 1 from a fellow tracker. This great group of folks has taught me a lot, not only about trains themselves, but the joy of sharing the hobby with others. 

 

 

I love the station (what we can see of it).

I was on another (ATSF) forum, looking to see what topics were being discussed.  The title of the thread with the video was something like "Somebody do not like my station."  Working on a station myself I checked it out.  Although I'm sure the video was done with special effects, it reminded me of the late 50's when I knew kids that liked to blow up models with firecrackers.  Kind of a stupid video, but something different.

I have to say that the string of power in your video is quite impressive.  Nice!

Always nice things to watch in the "Weekend" thread!
