Thank you man! Glad you like it.

Here is the "Making of video" I documented it just for fun. Tell me what you think! What I could improve on/add to give it realism.

First off, thanks for sharing.  I like what you've done thus far.

Trying to be helpfull now.  2 main rules to video: "I will not pan;I will not zoom."  Keep the camera still, and let the trains move through the scene.

Alright man thank you. You're gonna hate this next video cause I kept walking around, its a little Iphon camera so there's no real stability in it.

I completely forgot to post the making of LINK

TOMMY921,

  Getting better!  Take your time while filming and also for the layout watch taking those turns to fast could have those engines on the floor.  I use a clear plastic retainer on my corners, just in case a engine gets away.

Keep on trainin,
