First, tried to look at T&W to learn more and the link didn't seem to work. Too bad.

 

Could someone let us know about the sound? I think it was good editing NOT DCC unless they had some unknown sound system in the hoppers.

 

Enjoyed the movie but there needs to be better information about the "scene" so that the "viewers" don't raise questions that might never be answered or make "guesses" that might be wrong.

 

Hope to see the T&W link working.

We fat-fingered the link - but we fixed it.

Try the T&W link again - it works now.

T&W link works

I'm more of a steam lover and HO scale simply because I like Scratch building and just can't see the N scale stuff any more, It's the over 55 eyes thing. But this is one great N scale Railroad and I really am enjoying your Videos and the long trains. I tried the T&W link again and this time it took me to a large number of really great Videos for sale. even though I'm a Steamer at heart I like watching all Trains.

Again Great Videos and a Great Layout any chance of getting an over all view of the layout?

N-Scale Pushers

The sound was edited on a Apple computers with the real NS trains that run on the Pocahontas division.

It took a while to do and took 5 guys to do this program for the crew shatter.  If anyone has Great Model Railroads 2004, N-Scale Railroading March-April 2006 MAGAZINES  then you could see a over-look at the layout.  The layout has changed since these issues. It is double decked now with a 150ft coal branch line that come s off the mainline.

LOL.. an almost 4 scale mile

LOL.. an almost 4 scale mile "branch". I would be delighted to have a mainline that long.

I am going to pull that GMR issue before I watch the second part. Might have the N-scale railroaiding but that collection is much spottier. Tomorrow night is daddy night with the kids, aka "Bottles and Train Videos" night, so I am looking forward to watching it then!

Alot of time and years of

Alot of time and years of putting programs together. I enjoy doing things like this.  I'm working on another N-Scale program on the branchline that runs off of the mainline and the V&O trains that come in from Ohio enter the railroad off of this branch for extra operations. It will be something to see when I get it done.

We're greatly indebted to Scott for offering up his N scale pushers piece for Movie Monday.

Go check out the T&W web site and pick up some of their videos ... if they're anything like this sample, you're in for a treat!

Part 3

Mon, 2009-05-18 04:58 — Isegrinns

Hooray, part 3!

Very nice done. I´d sure love to have a sketch of the overall layout, since I knew only the GMR 2004 part.... Would be nice to chase the train over the layout.

Thanks for making this movie and sharing it with us.
