BATMAN Always like to play Gordon Lightfoot's "song for a winters night" when it is snowing out. Found this version from 1967. Gords lyrics always put you there even 51 years later.

Batman, how did you get this video to show up in the thread like this (rather than a simple blue link)? Love this song on our winter nights here in Nova Scotia. Thanks. OSS
Try this video. It's my Lego textile factory motor in action. Thirty+ year old motor is working hard.

My North Mountain textile factory for my Lego train layout will be duplicated in stone for my HO scale trains. Each piece of orange gypsum is sanded into blocks and later, the scaled brickwork will be scratched into the gypsum blocks.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
I got a note from Ulrich. Things are fairly quiet, although Petra was harrassed pretty badly on a recent grocery trip. She will no longer go alone.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Gypsum wall is coming along. Also carving a gypsum horse for my wife's upcoming birthday.
So the end of the month is coming up. Where's the Diner moving next? Next month is Valentine's Day... how about Hershey, Pa.?
Woah! Did I see NS and CN together? Where? Looking to add non-CN locomotives that I've seen with CN to my roster! Thanks for posting Steve.

That would be Hershey, Pa. Which means we're looking at NS track. The CN unit was probably leased power.
Nice! Thanks.
Good morning from the home of the land of the Winter Monsoon. It is 12c with heavy rain and wind. It is my 61st. Birthday today and so far my account at PWRS has had $250.00 added to it.
I have been gluing the walls on to the roundhouse today in between all the well wishes on the phone. The house is full of Veterinarians in to see the pups this morning. The wife knows a tremendous amount about genetics and reproductive techniques etc. Even though she retired long ago the phone never stops ringing with people wanting advice. There is major shop talk going on, so I will be retreating back to the train room.
The pups have their own Facebook page with hundreds of followers.
Oldschool, to get a video inserted, use the insert video button at the top of the reply screen, just paste the address into it.
Putting my RH and TT into a piece of foam that lifts on and off the layout was the best thing I ever did. I just lift it out and take it to my desk to work on it and put it back when I am done.
You can see it here.
I think we will go for a big Birthday pig out at my favourite Sushi joint tonight. My Sister is taking us out to celebrate on Sunday to this incredible buffet at a hoity toity golf course. I see a whole lot of extra exercise this week and next.
Well, I need to make myself scarce.
All the best to all.

BATMANIt is my 61st. Birthday today
Happy Birthday Brent!!
I like the removable roundhouse/turntable scene. I'm going to suggest it to the Club.
Happy Birthday Batman. Thanks for the video advice. I'll try again.
Last April I videotaped CN at Windsor Junction as it approached Halifax. Let's see if the video thumb shows up here.
We have many long trains coming and going from Halifax. Again in April 2017 I videotaped a Halifax-bound CN train in Elmsdale, about 30 minutes from the city. On this occasion I had two cameras running, one was my iPhone as the train approached and the second was my Sony mounted on the ground pointing in the direction that the train was moving. here is the first video.
The second video of the same train in Elmsdale was taken from my ground-mounted Sony on the other side of the level crossing pointing my way. Forgot to crop the end of the video. Just stop after the rolling stock goes by.
Video looks good, Oldschool—
but, I must ask. Are you sitting in the outhouse with the door open?
My computer screen is 19" wide and your video only uses three inches of the middle.
I guess this is the "new normal" ?
Sure isn't anything like the Cinerama production of "How The West Was Won"...
Happy Birthday, Brent! Welcome to 61... the new 20.333!
Cheers, Ed
Steven Otte So the end of the month is coming up. Where's the Diner moving next? Next month is Valentine's Day... how about Hershey, Pa.?
Steve O .... if it were up to me, I would select a warmer location for February such as Arizona. ... I like the video. ...
Does anybody else have a suggestion ? ..... Who is taking a turn at moving the Diner ?
Brent ...... Happy birthday.
Old School .... I like your CN videos.

gmpullman Video looks good, Oldschool— but, I must ask. Are you sitting in the outhouse with the door open?
LOL. No there is actually a viewing gazebo right beside the track and the old CN station that has been converted into a daycare. This is how close to the train the children play so I must be safe!
I had my iPhone in its vertical position because I was so close. The other camera view is landscape like the old days.
I had never seen ties changed out before until CN did this at the Rockingham Yard on Bedford Basin in Halifax/Bedford last year. I had my iPhone and took videos of the equipment used. I wonder if any of these prototypes have been produced as HO models in the past? Number 1.

Excellent, not too expensive either. Thanks Ed.
P.S. It was a VVS moment. Won't happen again. LOLLOL

That was just one example, OldSchool. I found a few on Ebay in the $40-50 range and they will ship to Canada.

VVS seems to be a "Sign Of The Times" I see it everywhere.
Good Luck, Ed

I started using video cameras in 2001, changing to new and better cameras every few years. I would say 99.5% of my videos are not VV's. I started with terrestrial wildlife, then birds (lots of those videos), then nature in general (rivers, waterfalls, autumn leaves, storm chasing, etc). Last year I started with trains at different locations around Nova Scotia.
Here are two cars being loaded with scrap metal in Truro last July.
Hershey, where Hershey Park is located. It used to be a medium size amusement park. Those of you of a certain age remember when there were smaller parks than Disney and 6 Flags. It was very family friendly and the tour of the factory came with a Hershey Bar. I guess Steve is buying the Hershey Bars?
Batman, your veterinary story reminded me of my ex-wife. She was a lab tech in Chapel Hill in the 70's and they were studying estrogen (hormone) receptors in breast cancer. Her boss sent her and his wife, the gynecologist, to bring back a bunch of pig uteruses, which are rich in receptors.
They came back with 6 pig vaginas.
