Hello Everyone, and Happy Easter!
A few weeks ago when I let go of trying to be the greatest modeller of all time, aided by an imaginary unlimited budget, I laid down 180 ft of track in the back yard and ran some trains…well, then, I liked it so well I laid down another track outside the original and I’m running two trains now.
Boy is this fun!
EDIT: Holy smokes, I really suck at making videos!!!

I agree! Look on the bright side: You can only get better. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
I sure hope so, Joe!
The technique may be a little rough but the running trains were enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice long loops, Great job

Good job on getting track down. Now just water it and you’ll be surprised how it will grow. I see some nice looking bridges in the background just waiting for a purpose to carry track !
Looking good John. You are off and running now. A few bridges a few buildings, sidings and you got yourself a RR.
I have seen worse videos of trains done by so called pros. Making a nice video is all about the angles, editing and music. You have some nice RR equipment there. Get your camera low like your holding it filming a real train going by. You can put the camera on the train, in front behind, on top but keep the aerial drone shots to a minimum.
Happy RRing
