2009 Doubleheaders Layout Tour - Video
Posted by FastTracks on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 11:11 AM

 Hi,

Last weekend was the annual Doubleheaders Layout Tour in the Kitchener area of Southern Ontario.

Once again I participated by displaying my CNJ Bronx Terminal layout.



Instead of the usual photos of the day, I shot some high def video of the process of transporting the layout and setting it up for the show.

The day has been compressed into 4 videos, all hosted on my site at the link below.

I would love to post them here, but alas, embedding video is not yet supported on this forum.  (time for a forum upgrade MR...)

Tips for playing HD videos...

If you have a slow connection, getting the videos to play smoothly takes a bit of coaxing. The best way to watch these is in HD. This can be done with any type of connection, but will take longer on a slower service. Start the video, then click on the “HD” button once it shows up. Then, pause the video and wait for it to steam in for a while. A pink progress line will show the progress, once it is about half way across the progress bar the video can be started again and should play smoothly to the end.

On a page with multiple videos, such as this one, I like to start each one and pause it until all of them have loaded, then come back a few minutes later and watch them. Waiting for the larger HD versions is well worth it.

Cheers! Tim Warris CNJ Bronx Terminal
