I want to know more about that SW1 though. That's cool.

The C&NW SW1 is another Vince Kotnick masterpiece.  It's chopped from a Kato NW2, shell and mech.

Skytop47 came by to visit and run trains and brought both the doodlebug and the orange/black 44 tonner.

Yeah Mike...Ya leave the door unlocked and no tellin' what's gonna wander in.
We saw a ton of great models that day and the layout is incredible!

Awsome video Jamie!

My only complaint, everything looked to be running quite fast. Video ALWAYS does that though.

That was actually brought up during one of the test shots.  It's really amazing how much faster things look once on video.

Jamie thanks for the info on the filters. I had the same issue with the first video that I shot of my layout using GE Chroma 50s and I got the black bands on the video. I will have to get some filters.

Just to clarify. There wasn't anything I could do about the overhead florescent light fixtures causing the moving bands other than turning them off or moving the camera to minimize them.

I used the orange filters over a daylight corrected florescent light bank on a stand to create the sunset light.

Ed it's funny, Bill Denton was running one of his trains and looked at the viewfinder as I was recording it and commented to me how he didn't think he was running his train all that fast, but that it looked much faster in the video clip. The other issue is that when the train is crawling along you either don't get to see much scenery go by in a given clip or you don't get to see much train. Balancing it all out is tough. Would be interesting to put one of those digital speed meters in one of the modules to measure how quick trains are moving.

Well, it is the Milwaukee Road high speed Chicago to Twin Cities mainline.  ;D  There were actually signs on some of the crossbucks that read "Stop Look  Trains pass 100mph"
