Great job, Andy. Thanks for posting the pictures so those of us that couldn't make it can enjoy it too. I miss Pittsburgh, great city.

The first video was done with a point-and-shoot camera -- a Canon PowerShot A1000IS, and the second was done with a Kodak PlaySport (1st gen) -- a video camera that also takes stills.

Thanks Andy. Since they appear to be older cameras, I'll have to look for a newer model with similar features.
Sad to see it go, wish I could have seen it. Too much always goes on in December and January. Well, I can look forward to some more Pittsburgh goodness. How about the Steelers winning this coming Sunday? Wish them luck.

Where did you get the Mobile station, my friends dad owned a station just like it, would look great on my layout
Andy, You folks did a whole lot of thankless, selfless work for the enjoyment of others during their Holidays. I respect you and offer enthusiastic applause for committing yourselves to such kindness.

Going through some of the pics I took. Here's my brother at the helm of my work train, clearing the right of way before the gates opened

In case anyone else was wondering, it was made by Danbury Mint (and modified a bit for this module).

Theres a lot of work, Talent, Artistry, Electrification, Imagination, Inspiration, Technical, and Time consuming. It’s a labor of love and friendships. Many many hours of hard work, sweat and tears of building scenic modules to make this display the Fantastic Fully Functional Classy Model Railroader For Young, Old, simply Everyone, to ENJOY, who loves trains and the three diminional art these trains run through...Andy, It’s Wonderful! Thank You and the team members who built this wonder model wonderland....Great Thread..
I second all Larry said!! Having seen the layout at several venues, but not Kennywood, I can really appreciate all that goes into pulling it off! Sometimes I just watch the kids and adults who are fascinated by the layout and trains. Also, the Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers are just a great group of nice guys! I consider Andy and so many others to be good friends!! Keep up the good work, and I will try to see you again soon in Monroeville!!
