A Norfolk & Western coal train
very good video i like it
Thank you for posting. Very interesting.
very nice layout
It was not my idea to take a train ride perched atop the engine cab, but, after a while I got use to it and it was fun. However, I wished I hadn’t done it. My wife had a fit seeing me with all that soot on my skin and in my clothes.
Worth the RIDE!!! Thanks for the ride.
Well done, thanks for sharing
I noticed how steady the video was. Do the cameras have gyro lenses? Thanks for the enjoyable trip!
Loved the video. Thanks for taking me on a ride that was very enjoyable. I was amazed how long the train was. Very nicely shot. Hope you have more.
Great piece of work and the ride was awesome.
Thanks.
I like the cab-mount camera. Being a NASCAR fan, I’m used to the roof-top views. Excellent video, loved the ride and scenery. Thanks for making the video
!
nice liked it a lot
Great video, great layout.
Nice layout. Would have been more accurate if it had position light signals, but everything else looks like N&W country.
DIFFERENT AND GREAT! With today’s small cameras a modeler could record one or more trips over the line with shots from the locomotive and caboose ends (as done here), add track side shots, and narration. With some planning and editing you could take your road to shows and conventions and share your work with others. Of course, it helps to have such a well done railroad such as this for your subject. I enjoyed the trip!
Great vidio, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic scenery. I see you used white fiber fill for the mountain wooded areas. I have wondered if this would work as bags of dyed fill gets quite expensive for that many trees. I am going to need that on my layout as I am modeling Pennsy in the western PA area. Trackside scenes are wonderfully detailed. Love it B.
Scale model railroading cannot get any further !!!
The captions are so real that you feel rocking and rolling atop the tender as a 6’-4" head end brakeman.
Please pass on my kudos to this accomplished modeler.
great all around like to see more on such a very cold day in kansas
What a great way to take a train ride at lunch while working!
Thanks Bob, Chip
