Classic.  Were those shot under natural light from the skylight?

Thanks for the kind words. The video with the Rio Grande Train is not natural light because it was allready dark outside. The BN Train video is natural light but it was very cloudy outside. The SP and BNSF videos are with sunlight. Actually the Train moved slower then it looks like in the videos.

Very nice videos, Jürg, and a clever way of putting a diorama to use.

If I may offer a suggestion, I would make a small cardboard enclosure around the track entering the tunnel from the back. I think it would make the tunnel appear more realistic to be completely dark from behind.

Thanks for the hint David. Actually it was just a short mockup to make the Trains run through the Dio, thats the reason why I use books, CD's and other stuff to support the Track but next time I'm going for a better setup and I think I'll bring it outside to have a real sky in the background :-)
