Weekend at the Movies 8/2/2013

Thanks for posting the videos, Jeffrey.  I am unfamiliar with the location of Iona Island.  Is this somewhere on the old NYC North Shore route?

 

Yes, this is on this west side along the Hudson river next to bear mountain. Not to far from West Point NY. I use to live right on the other side, My Picture with my son and I was taken on one of the docks on the Hudson next to Iona Island.  Nice video's Jeffrey

A quick video of my new MTH F3.

 

No trains running in my video, but this is something that will be for an O-gauge locomotive.  I am working on a Canadian Pacific Holiday Train and this is a test of what I came up with for the "swinging bell" lights.  Mine are done with .5mm fiber optic strands illuminated by 3mm cool white LEDs.

 

I've since decided to make the bells slightly smaller and with fiber strands closer together, but it shows the basic idea.

 

Nice!!  Will be very interested to see how you progress and mount.  Thanks for posting.

Just got a decent video camera. Now I can join in with the Weekend Videos.

Great layout Jim!  Thanks for the HD video, really a pleasure.  I'm going in for second viewing.  -Ken

My contribution this weekend will be real trains as well. This is from the rear of the Adirondack, along the Hudson River, Tuesday July 30. I was at the rear door of Private Car Mount Vernon, on a day trip to Boston via Albany.  I'll put some photos up over the weekend under "Real Trains."

 

 

 

I must be losin' it, Jeffery.  I meant to ask if the location was on the West Shore - not the North Shore - but maybe I had a flashover from reading about Electroliners. 

 

Thanks for the response.

Keith, your recent project, like your others, go way beyond awesome.  That is going to be one neat train when you are done.  Thanks for posting.

Thanks Tom and Billy!  Tom, yes, as Billy said this is on the old NYC West Shore Line.  It is now called the River Line or River Subdivision.  It is a real nice place to go.  I live within Rockland County about 25 minutes south.  Billy, the Dock is another one of my favorite spots up there!

Great videos everybody!  Jim, love the shot of the train coming out of the city undercut!

FrankfordJunction and Steve,
Thank you both.  So far, it has been fun trying to figure out the layout for the locomotive and cars.  It may be a while before I am able to show the cars, because they need to be painted first.
