Don’t mind the corny steam sound in the back ground, thats all we had to work with.
let me know if it works.[:p]
I LOVE THIS HOBBY!!![:p][:p][:I]
I couldn’t get the Windows Player version to work, so I downloaded the Quicktime version. Looks very much the real thing (well it is the real thing, I mean 1/1 scale). Actually I was thinking those were the funniest sounding diseasals I have ever heard. Almost like they were running on… Steam?
Nice movie, thanks for posting.
Marty, that is wicked cool ! what was wrong with those deasil horns, did you use a steam sound set?
That’s awesome! Marty, you’ve amazed me again!
The plow and spreader actions were neat. No problems with the Windows version. That steam sounded a lot like old european stuff? Good video. Kudos!
Loved the Engli***rain Whistles, and the reminder to those of us in the north that that four letter word is coming!!!
Will … quietly awaiting the white blanket!!
My camera at that time had NO sound to it. The lady who helped me make the tape had copy rights to only steam, so i guess its better than banjo music.
The funnest part is the longer your in this hobby the more you get to try.
NO end in sight of growing.[:p]
Have FUN!!![^]
Wild, wild stuff, this is possibly the absolute, ultimate model railroading experience, there’s not a guy out there that isn’t drooling at the fun you could have with an outfit like this, this video will probably boost the sales of outdoor MR in the future–great stuff ! ! now all you poor souls who moved south, aren’t you sorry you moved tp perpetual sunshine???
No.
[#ditto]
I see snow here, anyway. Not as bad as up North, though. I couldn’t handle 3 feet of snow in one sitting.
I couldn’t get the sound, but the sight of a rotary plow flinging snow off the mainline is surely one of the best sights I’ve seen!
Thank you, I really enjoyed it.
Matthew
That was fun.
Now all you need is a working Jordan Spreader. [:D]
Andre
nice job Marty
awesome dude two thumbs up
Great video. Wish you could get some more close up shots of the snow flying.
Tatans - It is not so much the perpetual sunshine that sucks it’s the perpetual Hurricanes! I do miss the winters of upstate NY.
Terry
Impressive! I liked the video a lot. Good job! [tup]
Good work Marty!! A really effective snow plow.
Ken.
Thanks guys, man even if you don’t buy Garden railways mag, when your at the local hobby shop open one up ( Dec issue) and look at the back cover “end of the line” photo of the rotary in action looking up at it on a mountain side.
this winter I want to build a more prototype body for it. Back when I first built it I had no idea that it would really work.
This winter I also want to get better footage with the newer camera and the sound unit in my SD45s.
That was definitely impressive! Wish I could do that on my HO trains, but the results would probably be disasterous.
BN 6500 was a highhood? Well, chop it , and patch it WC. JK, very nice clip there marty! I love your shots!
