Video of the Year!!! The layout is awesome and then you throw in some AC/DC. What isn't there to like!
Ha, awesome movie

Anyone have videos of locomotive drag racing? Someone set up a racing station at the World's Great Hobby on Tour near Philadelphia in Jan 2014. It was the most interactive part of the entire event that I remember. Would be a good video with AC/DC backing
I was moving some of my elderly aunt's things she couldn't take with her to the assisted living apartment. I put some of the things under the train table. One was a CD changer/player-tape player she had me pick out for her a few years ago. I hooked it up, and checked to see if there were any CDs in it. The first was Glenn Miller, so I started playing it. I fired up the NYC Hudson pulling some heavyweights, and the B&O Atlntic pulling a string of steam era freight cars. Thinking of Nick's Ready to be Thunderstruck topic, I thought how fitting, Steam and Glenn Miller. Just then the second song came on; Chatanooga Choo Choo! I ran the trains a while with the music playing, and thought maybe I'll make a video with music playing. It won't be done very well, just trains with the CD playing in the background.
Heritage Units = AC/DC
Steam era = Glenn Miller
Dude, I love heritage diesels. This video was awesome! We've seen 13 of the 20 heritage units come through town to date. I worked in Pittsburgh today. I was hoping to see a heritage unit cross over to the North Shore. Unfortunately, it didn't happen.
The Horseshoe Curve scene on your layout is great!

I agree with Don's assessment completely!! In fact, I would have had no idea that was AC/DC if someone hadn't commented on that. I wonder if I could get the right effect playing Lynyrd Skynard or The Doobie Brothers on my next video.
Again, Super job all the way around, Nick!!!
Then the YT copyright police show up in a email.
Been there.
Very cool video
Cool
Love the video---and the Penn Central unit

I showed the video to my boys, who go with me to watch heritage units. They asked when we are taking our heritage trains to run on the layout. The local flavor of the layout is great. Impressive.
Panther97....I also work "dahntahn". Usually walk over by the convention center and watch for trains on my lunch breaks too! Shoot me a line sometime.
Nick- I will be sending a email The guys from the club want to come see you layout.
Nick I still can't figure out why you disappeared for 2 years.
Great video!!

Will do. I only work in our Pittsburgh office about once a month. I live in Central PA. I'm very close to Horseshoe Curve.

Nope...the video matches the length of the studio track exactly. Nick did a great editing job!
The video itself is really cool. Just mute the track if you want to see it and don't like the music.
It's what I do with the 1millionth train video I pull up with the same old Flatt and Scruggs sound track
and yes, I'm just joshin' ya.

Yes Clem K., there is information. Here it is:
"Thunderstruck"
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track
I looked round
And I knew there was no turning back
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been
Thunderstruck...
