Fantastic weathering and scenery! The smoke & steam were great!
This is probably the best model railroad video I have ever seen.
How do you add the smoke and steam effects? Do you use a special video program? Please share your knowledge with us.
Thanks!!
Superb in all respects. Great special effects. Beautiful scenery. Great weathering. Most realistic that I’ve seen.

Introduced to this magnificent layout, my planned trip to the West is now unnecessary. While scheduling the flight and accommodations was the usual distasteful problem, I really was at a loss on how to get that Cab-Ahead (as my New York Central Father called them) my crew “borrowed” from Stockton fired up again and slung into my time machine for the transport (and I have to confess I wasn’t at all sure about that thing, either.)
Thankfully, all that now needs doing for the trip is simply to pour another cold or hot one, settle back, and enjoy some terrific armchair railroading. I am so grateful to have a pass on this better-than-Class 1 railroad.
Milan,
Would you be willing to write an article explaining how you do this? The model railroading world needs your guidance to move our videos to the next level.
Thanks!!
Very nice indeed and so realistic with the sounds of the squeaking railcars and black smoke from the engine.
