Thanks @mike g.! I have been following your build and getting ideas from you so don't stop now!
@Tranquil Hollow RR Thank you! When I was designing, I really wanted to be able to move a train anywhere on the layout and to be able to switch directions.
Thanks @Will! I am pretty new to the whole YouTube thing so my gear is limited. I have a tripod/ring light for static shots and I use a gimble for motion shots. I record and edit on my iPhone 12. The POV video I did required my older Sony AVCHD camcorder which did I nice job. As my video hobby grows with the trains, I will probably find myself looking at nicer cameras and recording gear! I agree that the videos are fun to create!
Thanks @Aem7s4lyfe! Appreciate the support. I love the AEMs as well! When my wife was in Grad School, I rode many of them via Amtrak on the weekends to visit her in NYC.
