Passenger operations on the LP&CL garden railroad
Chris, Love the railway, love the video even more. What program did you use to edit? How do you get the album effect between cuts?
Mick
Chris. Great video. The side by side view was awesome. It motivates me to get my faIlen flags train done. I agree with Mick, the album effect is great. I would love to know what program you used as well. Hats off to you! Jack ABC Garden Railroad Green Bay, WI.
Thanks so much Mick & Jack! I shot the video using a hand held flip video camera. Its small and does a great job. I edited the footage in iMovie on my Mac. It comes standard on all macs and is super easy to use! Feel free to check out my other videos!!
Wonderful, Fantastic. Great deep throat sound of the big engine. Thanks for an exciting ride with the trains passing each other and catching up and running away from each other.
I used iMovie. It comes standard on all Macs. The transitions are part of a theme in iMovie. super easy!! Looks a lot more complicated than it really is!!
Nice! Good looking action I liked the turnouts they add for me a sense of reality. I want to elevate my trains (always have) but don’t have the room I don’t think. Thanks for the video.
enjoyed the video and i like the side view.
Great video! Great railway! I really like the camera shots on the moving trains.
fabulous video, loved that 2-8-8-2. The sound was fantastic.
From one GGRS to another: Good show!! And from a Southern fan: Great show!!! Sorry I was out of town during your meeting…please so another soon. I’d like to see your layout in person.
Congratulations! A great job! A pleasure to watch this video.
That was fantastic - and inspirational! Almost enough to make me go out in the 112 degree heat and crank up my railroad. The “album effect” was a real bonus in viewing your passenger operations. Great job!

I loved watching both trains. The only thing that was a little frustrating was watching full-length passenger equipment running on relatively narrow radius curves. Having worked for a railroad and watching passenger trains come by at speed as they rounded the curve next to me, the effect was a little pushed. All in all, two lovely trains and an excellent video.
it was great. close up of the trains was fantastic
Beautiful trains and tracks, the Southern would be proud of your work. But ya’ gotta slow those trains down so we can see and hear them better, drink it in more. The editing was nice, but slow down your edits between cuts. I would really like to see another video of the LP & CL RR.
Really nice video work Chris - always in focus and steady shots while panning. It’s great to see smooth running trackwork as well. Nice job on the layout! Thanks for sharing.
Wow looks great
Chris, Good video, I particularly liked the view chasing the steam loco from the other track an interesting perspective, well done.
Mike.
Very nice video… the chase footage was great.
