yeah I am actually re creating that scene with cheap pullback sd40-2's and I will be using gunpowder gasolene and firworks to blow them up

 

Hello GN24,

If you are making a video re-creation of the movie, as your description says, you might want to explore video special effects and video editting.  You'll have the fun of both trains AND movie making.  Plus learn a lot of skills you can build on in future videos.

Playing with gasoline, gunpowder, and fireworks is... well, kinda dumb. Each of these are extremely volatile by themselves, a combination of them will result in ... what? 

You'll only get one video shot, it won't scale down and look right, and there can be un-intended consequences... like burning your face off or burning down the house.  

Sorry to be alarmist, but playing with that stuff can lead to ugly headlines in the news.

Take care, have fun, be safe.

 

 

first of all I am doing it all in a large open area and I do have the editing skills to do it but I just like the real thing better than special effects also my neigbor is an expert on using gunpowder and fireworks and he is showing me how to properly use them when i film my scene

If you do a 737-max you can make it crash.

We need to figure out the combination of sensors, gyros, and magnets needed for 777's consist to run balanced on one rail.
