Union Pacific 4014 Google Tour Builder

I have been working on a Google Tour builder project for the upcoming 4014 tour. Trying to add a custom icon on the map. Anyone have an idea how to do that? When I paste my url of where the file is located I get nothing?

Work continues on my On30 mushroom layout

Now I can start laying track

Working on my Mushroom Layout.

Put up some more Flexible 1/4" drywall. It's been awhile since I did any work on the layout. I've been busy at work!

Using Periscope to broadcast live railfan events

Technology takes another leap forward as Twitter enters the realm of "Live Broadcasting" with the iPhone app Periscope. I used it today to record a train passing through Haslett. I didn't have much time to get ready for the shot. I set up my GoPro camera and saw the headlight as soon as I got on the bridge. Started recording on the GoPro then started Periscope and the live broadcast. It was an interesting experiment. I was able to save the recording to my camera roll on the iPhone but the broadcast didn't save to Twitter.

Railyard Productions Pere Marquette 1225 Return to Clare Steam Train excursion Video from cab

Well I got a cab ride out of the deal. What an awesome time. I think the passengers enjoyed themselves as well. Here we stopped at a drive thru for something warm! LOL http://railyardproductions.com

Bachmann VS San Juan Car Co. On30

Merry Christmas! Be careful what you wish for! LOL.I got just what I wanted for Christmas,unfortunately it seems On30 is not a standard between manufacturers. Case in point. The San Juan Car company Narrow Frame Tank car. My fault for not Goggle searching the product. Too Bad! The SJ car is awesome and I don't think anyone else is producing the narrow frame tank car in On30. 

Quad Copter view of The Polar Express Pere Marquette 1225

I had the chance to break away from work for a few hours yesterday. I went to Owosso Michigan to film the Pere Marquette 1225. What an awesome locomotive. As most everybody knows the PM 1225 is the locomotive used in the making of the movie "The Polar express". The Steam Railroading Institute puts on a great event. Here is a movie shot from my Phantom II quad copter. The thing about Quad Copters, They are noisey! So music was added to the video. When I get some better movie editing software I will dub in some locomotive sound from my camera # 2.

Busy,Busy,Busy!

Well it surely has been a busy summer. Haven't had much time for the On30 Mushroom layout. I did purchase a couple of 1/4" sheets  4x8 drywall for the backdrop. I installed one yesterday during an unexpected lull in the work week. Customer accidently locked us out of the house. I used that time to hang the drywall.
