What a delightful video: a train running at prototype scale speed, exhaust from the locomotives, perfectly dubbed-in real train sound effects, and all of this occurring on what appears to be a beautiful layout - from stem to stern, from rural to urban. Most inspiring and polished. Question: is the exhaust really coming from the models or was this dropped in digitally afterwards? Either way is looks super - even the speed at which it exits the moving equipment and subsequently trails off is right on. Terrific video and layout.

I liked it very much. Loved the realist sound and the exhaust was a nice touch. Well done!

Nicely done! Gorgeous layout and model. Video editing with the exhaust was excellent. And the sounds were right on.

How was the smoke exhaust accomplished?

J_ROWLINSON · September 22, 2011, 9:31pm

Makes me want to put my N scale aside and get back to HO where some really great equipment and sound are now available.

Excellent coverage for various kinds of sounds (horn, squealing wheels on curves, slower tspeed hrough passenger platform area and full speed on open rails, throbbing diesels) and views (varied angles, nicely framed and edited). Very well done!

American model railroading has left a strong inprint over seas. Who says we don’t build great products, USA all the way! Awesome layout.

jase_nzr · September 22, 2011, 7:20pm

Excellent video, how do you do the exhaust? Great scenery
too.

Fantastic layout and great operation of AMTRAK. I would like to know who"s private coach at the end of the train was represented? As we know someone own or leased the coach to hitch a ride somewhere. Again, Great model railroad.
