Weekend at the Movies 7/12/2013

My weekend contribution is a bit of an experiment. I like watching the "pacing videos," on You tube, where photographers follow alongside a steam locomotive. UP along Route 30 in Nebraska is a great place for this. But, there are no roads paralleling the home layout on the upper level. so, I had the photographer "hop a freight" on the adjacent track. This is the view of the K-Line B&O Pacific and train. You will note that the two trains don't stay parallel, and take turns pulling ahead of each other. Obviously the engineer needs some better synchronization between his left hand and right hand.

The freight is pulled by three Williams Geeps, a GP 7 and two GP9's. Two are powered, one a dummy.

Hello all! 

Here is a recent video upload to my Youtube page showing photos from a recent trip to Strasburg and Paradise, PA. 

Enjoy!

Here's a short video of the latest additions to the WIHABL RR roster...MTH Premier D&H ALCo RS-11 powered and non-powered units operating in conventional mode on the basement layout.  I apologize for the somewhat poor quality as it was shot with an iPhone with my not-so steady hands!

Haunted Train Room?

I have been shooting photographs and video of my model trains for years.

Thousands of photos and many hours of video.

The other day I captured an "orb" checking out the trains.

This has  never happened before.

Watch

I'd post that over on the scenery forum Ralph,and ask for opinions on the 1:48 meteorite you've been working on.

Here's a video from Patsburg " Home of the Free State Junction RR .... Where the trains always run on time"

Happy Railroading
