In-ko-pah Railroad -- My best video yet!

Here’s a brand new video of my 1/24th scale, In-ko-pah Railroad. I think it’s my best video of the RR to date! I’ve tried to shoot and edit this in the style of a professional railran video, depicting a day on the In-ko-pah Railroad. You’ll see my Bachmann/BBT 4-6-0 steam locomotive and my custom built narrow gauge RS-3 diesel in action, along with detailed structures and the beautiful, realistic desert scenery I’ve created.

I’m really excited about how this video turned out!

BTW, there are no “dubbed” sounds. All the locomotive sounds are produced by the Phoenix P9 sound systems installed in the locos.

Great layout, excellent video! You captured the feel of railfan reality. That was fun.

Incredible - as the Montgomery/Gentry song says, that’s “somethin’ to be proud of!”[tup]

Thanks guys! I had fun making this video (despite constant interruptions by jets, helicopters, lawnmowers, barking dogs, etc.) Photography and video of the layout is one of my favorite aspects of the hobby.

Great! You captured the railfanning aspect of it. I particularly loved the shots taken from the train. The landscape is so gorgeous, at some moment, you feel like you’re a real tourist!

Good knows how much time such small videos take. But your effort paid off.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks! BTW I shot about two hours of video, which was edited down to just under five minutes. I still have a few other neat shots which I might use to make a “sequel”. I’m thinking maybe doing one that is mostly onboard footage.
