Greetings;
The following short film depicts my layout in both its January-April single track/passing siding/stub-ended spur configuration, along with its present double-track/passing siding/stub-ended spur design.

Nice video! And what’s that piece of music playing? Good choice there, quiet and lovely with just a slight touch of melancholy for all the past years and people those old trains have seen, never to return.
Take good care of your little time travelers.
The first piece of music is Claude Debussy’s Maid With The Flaxen Hair; the second piece (which begins when the train on the outer track - hauling the camera - approaches the Marx Glendale station for the second time) is Bob Acri’s Sleep Away. Both were sample tracks in my computer, but they do work well with the imagery. I should also point out that, while trains on the outer main line usually pass through a Marx truss bridge at the north end of the layout - again, just ahead of the Glendale station - I had to remove it to give a metal Lionel flatcar with a camera strapped on to it adequate clearance.
Trains ancient and modern, eh? Editing a toy train hymnal? [:D] Jk, looks great!
Thanks for the response on the music titles!
Very nicely done video. Thank you for sharing. Credits at the end left this player out:
