Pacing video
Posted by chatanuga on Sunday, November 1, 2020 4:30 PM

Tried doing another pacing video with my Sony HDR-AS20 video camera on the flat car. This time, rather than have the camera pacing on a parallel track, I put together a very long train having the camera car being pulled or pushed around the layout to follow both the locomotives and the caboose. This was only the second time I've had a train this long on the layout, and it truly is a test of both the track and the rolling stock.

I removed the audio for content and copyright reasons because I was watching The Exorcist while recording this. It was replaced with a song I found in one of the free music libraries, which I think fits right in with the trains.

Good video! Your track work looks great, and your speed matching abilities are commendable!

Splendid trackwork Kevin. Some people who post similar videos really shouldn't when you get an up-close of the shake rattle 'n roll.

Yeah, makes it easy when they're on the same train.  :)

Hi chatanuga,

So, if I understand correctly, you were running one long single train that reached almost the whole way around the layout with the camera car at the end. Is that correct?

If so, it proves again that your track laying skills are excellent!

Cheers!!

Yes.  The last two minutes of the video show the full train and how close the camera car was from the opposite end.
