The 671 races around the layout to keep it’s schedule!
And as promised the World Premier of the Century Club Hudson!

Nice vids, I like all the animated pieces on the display, as for that steamer…wow, that thing was going so fast that I thought for sure it would fly straight off the tracks.
p.s. love the tubular.
Marty, there are not many photos/videos posted on the forum that I call Mrs. Buckeye and ask her to take a look at. Your video of around the town is one that Mrs. Buckeye will need to see. I really like how you worked the tire swing into the back yard of the house. [tup][tup][tup][tup]
I love looking at the rest of Kodiak Junction without the trains - what a neat idea! I appreciate seeing all the details - you lingering on a shot so we can see how you embedded the accessories into the scenery for example or placed figures and vehicles. Nicely done.
Of course, my favorite is classic trains going around fast. I appreciate your holding the camera steady and allowing the train to come in and out of the shot instead of trying to chase it around the layout. I was just racing the GG1 and a short consist the other night and thinking it would be fun to film if I had a video camera… What a nice engine. Thanks very much, Marty.

I like your double line over & under, may I copy it?[:)]
Thanks for all the compliments. Next time I get some left over disc space I plan on doing a more comprehensive look at Kodiak Junction. Slow things down a bit and really try to get some clearer shots. I do think sometimes we concentrate on the trains and not the very important “supporting cast”.
Paul…Copy away! I did. And thats why I enjoy sharing. If I give someone even a small idea I think I’ve done the hobby justice.
Marty,
Keep up the great work! Did that CC 671 come from the factory with a fan-driven smoke unit, or did you upgrade it?
That is a factory original. Pretty amazing huh? Think Lionel would look back at this one and see what makes it tick.
Marty - nice!
Makes one think about the fun we have with TMCC and no cruise control!
I have the 671 also. Great smoke and great sound.
Marty - did you get the extra Pennsy tender? I did. Looks good with the 671.

The 671 is on loan from my sister. Myself and her former husband went in together on the Century Club together. When they split he left the trains behind. Somewhere at her house I believe the tender sits. Although he might have taken it. I’m guessing at the rate my sister is putting up any kind of layout that the 671 will beon my layout for many years and hopefully the tender will show up.
Definetly a 1st class layout going on! Your accessory incorporation has inspired me to pay more attention to the animation. You definetly are an asset to the hobby.

Marty - I don’t know where to begin - marvelous videos! I liked how Kodiak Jct. has bounced back from the alien attack! [alien] I liked the background music too. The animations are so well blended into the overall setting, subtle but still a nice feature. The 671 is sweet too! Great sound and smoke.
Thanks for sharing! I look forward to seeing more.
Hello Marty:
Very nice! I thought the 671 was headed for a derailment! Also, you can’t go wrong by having Glenn Miller provide your soundtrack.

Thanks again for all the great replies. I am currently waiting for my computer to finish a virus scan and when it does I’ll put together one of the last 2 videos from the disc. I’ll premier it here on CTT. It is of the Century Club Hudson.
Marty - [wow]Very Impressive! Loved it all!.. and I saw a few ideas I may need to “borrow.” Can’t wait for the sequel!![bow]

MARTY,
Great job on the videos. Love your animation and that 671 is a good looking engine. You say that smoker is factory? WOW! Is it a good puller? Does it have odyssey?
Keep em coming.
