Steam Day Rail Fan video.

Recently my RR the Rock Root and Pup Poop Rail Road had a special steam day where geared locos were displayed in the main yard and the Heisler and Shay were pulling rail fans and treating them to run bys.

Climb on board and go for a ride with the railfan as he videos and takes photos of this great event.

Todd,

The video was interesting, the audio not so much. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-sealed.gif)

Nice vid.

HA! It’s not easy to find music that is 17 minutes long. I used a gopro to film this and I didn’t think about it at the time but both engines have sound but my camera was in its protective case so it doesn’t pick up sound very well so the music was put over it.

Great video Todd.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Good fun Todd, well done!

Gotta love the switchman s shanty!

Not many have liked the music… I thought it was rather Industrial meets Steam Punk which was perfect for the chug chug of steam train.

The switch mans shanty is just that a house for a switch that can cut off the power to that section of track so I can park a train. All my sidings and 4 passing sidings are controlled like that.

Nice… Todd how did you film the wife working while you played!! How did you pull that off?

I thought the sound track was just right for the video … however I will not be downloading it! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Thanks!

Sean… you just have to know how to lay down the law… YEAH RIGHT !

Planting is her thing and trains are mine. She did wrangle me in to dig some holes after filming was done.

Fun video Todd, I thought the music was kind of fun and my wife was certainly into it. You had it well timed with some of the shots and action. I’m also the official hole digger or shovel man too.
