Photo Backdrops seem to more accessible lately and with Google street view the ability to create signature scenes looks very practical and affordable. 
 

Neil Schofield, Scott Thornton, Joe Atkinson, Bill Brillinger, and Jim Six (among others) have all demonstrated that this is achievable and results in stunningly realistic and seamless transitions from the foreground scenery. 
 

If you are one of the handful of people that watched the video on my rotary dumper, you will remember that annoying bit of twisted wire going the trolley in the indexer that provided power to raise and lower the arm to move the train.  I've been trying to think of a way to make that part look better. The prototype uses a festoon cable system.  Basically, it's a track about 10' or so above the ground with little carriages on it and it supports the electrical cables that go to the trolley on the indexer.

A modeler getting interested again after 60years has accumulated a couple dozen cars which have horn hook couplers, truck-mounted on plastic trucks.
The choice must be made to forever go with one of the two KD coupler types:
#148(whisker spring version of KD#5) or
#158(semi-scale, whisker spring)
Are there ideas and suggestions?

Uploaded the first video of operations on the Highland. This video shows the first job of the morning - switching out the paper mill. This is my first attempt at video editing and only my second operating session so go easy on me. 

On a side note... this video is shot with my new iPhone 11. I’m quite impressed on the quality of video, especially since most of it is hand held. Anyway, enjoy!
