Yesterday with camera in hand I hopped aboard the Independence Day excursion train and got to ride in the new observation car on the Cape Cod Central and went round the RR.
Hey Todd,
That was quite a ride! I kept waiting for the conductor to ask for my ticket. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif)
Neat Video and Layout… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Nicely done. Quite a long ride, I must say.
Thanks guys.
I had to speed up the train because at scale speeds it would have been a 7 minute plus video.
Great fun! Who was that shady character lurking behind the house? I love those sweeping curved switches at the start and finish. I still have issues with my hand made one.
Most impressive!

Thanks Eric. That shady character may have been bigfoot!
Those are Piko switches that I finally found a place for. I bought a used pair cheap and then found out why, they needed work. I was hoping to squeeze one in at another spot but it didn’t work out. This Spring I added the third run a round where the video started and the curved switches worked perfect at that spot.
