Rail fan trip to the High Plains Route

Wow!

 

The video is outstanding, and this photo belongs on a magazine cover.  You pick the magazine.  Captures rural Kansas perfectly.   

 

 

Thanks!

I will upload the good photos from my real camera that was a screen capture from my iphone camera!



       

Earlier in the afternoon Mail and Express rushed to westward markets. On the point F7's in Espee Black Widow.

Thanks John!

As always Jeff's amazing layout is a thrill to enjoy. Thanks Jeff for a blast yesterday!

Eric, great videos and photos....

 

Thanks Dennis

Thanks, Erik.  Feels like I'm actually at trackside!  I really appreciate the way you set up and shoot scenes and I'm tryin' to learn from them while enjoying them.  Keep 'em coming!

Wow, fantastic stuff. But where's the cacti and the tunnel into the sheer cliff face?

Erik,

Your work never ceases to amaze me!

My gracious thanks I am glad you enjoy them. I sure enjoy making them!


       
       

Not all go by without a hitch or two! Blooper Reels are fun ;-)

Due to your having produced some first-tier model railroad videos with a very high degree of realism, your personal record has been awarded ten merits.

 

Remember that we are generous with demerits but stingy with merits.  You earned the merits.

 

 

 

That's a beautiful layout and equipment! I just can't wait to get my 3rd rail F7's!

 

Erik, you have said that you are not into popular F units, but considering 3rd rail's incremental quality on their diesel offerings, I was wondering if you are getting any of their F7's?

I must comment on two additional things:

• The consist that SP mail train is great - brings back many memories to me.
• The Mars lights on the brass Santa Fe PA1 and GGD FP7A are very realistic, truly looking like a figure-8 Mars oscillating headlight.

And that layout . . . who's the owner and builder?  He deserves merits too.  We need to see more.

The High Plains Route layout is Colorado O Scale Modelers member Jeff MacDonald. This is his second o scale layout building one in Lincoln NE. He employs many skills and help from his fellow COSM crew and our Boulder Model Railroad Club folks. Jeff is an amazing person with decades of O scale fine modeling experience.

Mike Flauding is also a master builder registered and builds professionaly for many well know and featured layouts including Chooch's own P48 masterpiece.

Myself I'm a roadie along for the ride I can't paint or draw a straight line nor model a darn thing. ;-)
