First video of Sweethome Alabama

Hello all.

I finally got round to making a short film showing the first partially-sceniced area of Sweethome Alabama.

It’s been so long since I made the last film (over a year) that I’ve forgotten how it’s done, so there are a few glitches and the quality’s not that great, but at least it gives an idea of how things are progressing.

Here’s the link

Now to do another one

Nice video Jon. The layout scenery is looking great. I love the weathering on your rolling stock/locos.

Do you make your own trees? They look very real.

Glad my son got us off dail up, never was able to watch videos unless I spent hours recording them, seemingly taking a minute to record a second. (Not quite that bad, but nearly.)

Very nice video, no need to appologize for it’s quality.

Scenery, locos and rolling stockk is very nice also.

Thank you for sharing,

I always enjoy your videos. The horns on your locos sound much more real than too many heard in YouTube videos. Very nicely done trees.

This is a great start. I’m waiting for the next vids. [:)]

Wolfgang

very nice,excellant modeling skills …Jw

I enjoyed it as well Jon, brought life to the pictures you had been posting. I was very impressed with the way your back ground works with your modeling.

Ken

That rocked. i agree with Ken - the background is exceptional and compliments the modeling perfectly.

Cool, I have enjoyed following the progress you have made on this layout as well as your other layout Sweethome Chicago. The only thing I can’t seem to find is if you have ever posted a track plan of either layouts?

Thanks for all the supportive comments. I’ll get on editing the second video

I’m not very good with computer layout design - spent too much time modelling - but I do have a trackplan for SWC, albeit a bit crude

hope this helps. I’ll cobble something up for SWA.

Jon

The second video is up on You Tube now, showing some CSX, NS and BN runthroughs and my first attempt at modelling kudzu.

Hope you enjoy it.
