Ran some trains yesterday, Sunny mid 70’s and a little sun burn to boot. :slight_smile:

Nice Video… Shame that first CSX engine got smacked on the top of the cab, and it swelled up… :slight_smile:

Very nice. I particularly liked the well ballasted curves and the “at the track-side” video shots. Thanks for posting.

Nice video Nick. I liked the ground shots. Nice to see a caboose at the end of all that modern equipment.

Do you have any problems with your built up road bed? It looks great but I bet it settles and moves after a rain storm. Is the track floated on top or do you have a ladder underneath then piled the stone up?

Todd,
Track floats on heavy rock that is dug in to a trench with weed block then ballast, The ballast does get washed out from time to time but easy enough to fix.
