Video For Tubular Track, Trolley & Santa Fe Fans - Updated
Posted by Frank53 on Thursday, March 8, 2007 2:52 AM

my camera work leaves a bit to be desired . . .

Nice "bump" on the reversing loop on the first pass from the right - gotta replace that piece of track.

Very nice video, Frank. And, naturally, it looks much better on the tubular track.

Frank... you better be careful or you are going to make me want to go tubular on my big layout!!!  As for the 'bump' just put a road sign up... that's what PennDot would do!  LOL!!!

That was awesome!

Great video Frank!  I love watching your layout come along.  And, that switchback loop seems to work very nicely, can't wait to get a couple of those on my layout.  I guess you're not going with the trestles on your switchbacks eh?  Oh well. Wink [;)]

Yeah!!!!!!!! Great video, Frank! You've left me wanting to see more. How about some footage of those 2343s and your 726?!

Your layout is coming out great. I love it!

Thanks for your gracious comments all.

btw James, that was a pretty good idea - Santa Fe's making a run around town in this video:

Laz:

They are all HO backdrops. I scanned them in sections, spliced them together and enlarged them 180% and had them printed on a large format printer. The city scape and industrial area behind the reversing loop are both Walthers.

The cut out buildings in front of the city scapes are "Instant Horizons". While I spent some money having them printed, none of them cost over $10.00.

If I was double-jointed, I'd kick myself!

Of course, if I was double-jointed, I'd probably never leave the house!  Laugh [(-D]

Man those Santa Fe F-3s looked good buzzin around. Most impressive was that model of the Lionel corporate offices or factory. Nice billboard on that.

Sweet video.
