Title: More video clips
Post by: prebres on April 15, 2008, 03:14:19 PM
Hi again,

Here are two more video clips shot on my layout. I made a new thread because they are not of F Units. Again, any and all comments are welcome. I hope you enjoy them. (Or for those of you in Pittsburgh: I hope you'ins enjoy them and 'at) :)

Here's a short clip of the new Life-Like crossing gate I installed. More like "Toy-Like" if you ask me. But it was a gift, so on the layout it goes.

Ok, this is the last one...I think. This video show the rolling stock which has now been weathered, and a new structure (Walthers Merchant's Row III). Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Thats another good video, and I like the music as well, Johnny Cash is always good  music to listen to while running trains. I have a question, how did you post the pics of your weathered boxcar? I would like to post a pic of the mountain I am working on. Well I guess its actually a bluff, in Wisconsin its a mountain though lol. - Rock

I created an account on photobucket and then uploaded the pictures there. Then you can just link to them from this site!

Do I spy a Bachmann E-Z Command? Nice job. Well, then agian, how else are you to control over 2 trains?
I also see you have the same Life-Like Chemical car and the same bachmann Southern open hopper. Now that you weathered your cars, time to weather your engines and senery.
;)good luck on the layout.

I would like to see some more switching. Not just coupling, but seening an engine backing up and coupling, then dropping them off, and picking them up. But your pretty good at the video stuff.
;) Keep it up.-Nice work.

You welcome, do you want some tips, I think you can e-mail me by clicking on my icon- 'Santa Fe buff' and clicking on my e-mail address, but when you e-mail me, you have to say on the subject something about you being prebres. OK?  I can give you one, if you don't mind the telephone poles riding under the beding, then thats OK, but it comes close to your trains, then use a SHARP modeling knife to cut through your green fabric, then slide the base under it to the wood, then glue it to the wood. This shoud make it look a little better, and if you would like to make the probley visable crack go away, put some high grass around the pole. <They ussually don't cut that close to the pole in real life anyway.> If you can still see the crack, although you can advoid that with bearly cutting a slit for it, and having minimum room to slide it in, I you still see it, cover it up with ground covering.
