I am not positive , but was all that without a repeat of duplicate track usage ? That camera had to be lead truck aimed , I didn't detect any over swing during the turns . Anybody know the loop length they have ? Thanks for posting that envious and awe inspiring flick .

Strangest N-Trak layout I've ever seen.

I didn't seen any duplicate routing. Looks as though the video was speed compressed a bit too. Guesstimate of 10-12 scale miles of trackage. That could be made to fit into 30'x60' on what appears to be a tri-level layout. Some of them-thar' N-Trakker's kin do sum stuff, iffin it don't hafta move. I'd love to see it "finished" before they have to: move, run out of money/man-power/enthusiasm, the "doer's" move away. Some club's get really lucky and find a long-term place to "live".

Seriously, why do people insist on dubbing music over their Youtube videos? Ugh.

Well, there's always that little button with the speaker icon at the lower right...

Ed's tight black turtleneck and Starbucks coffee make it difficult for him to control volume... ;D

Actually in this case I thought the music wasn't so bad , as it was pretty much generic . It wasn't Rock , Classical , Jazz , or anything that one could really say they hate as a style . I don't think they do concerts , albums , or radio stations full of this , do they ? Who would want it ? I think it just a generic melody for the purpose it was used . I could have done without it , but wasn't displeased either .

The video is obviously hastened, one of the comments notes that in real time, the trip takes about 20 minutes.  With the visual compressed like that, I think the music adds a nice element.  The only thing that I thought was an impediment was the one guy that kept leaning down to make faces at the camera...  Although I liked it when he tried to swallow the train...

Is that code 55 track? The ties look brown, and several of the turnouts were hand laid...

It's like a train ACID trip!

Btw, Richie, it is a style, it's most definitely TECHNO.

no, it's cheesy anthem club music - it in no way is techno.  calling that techno is like calling Johnny Cash a country and western singer.

as for the layout - i thought it was HO scale and i really like the hidden staging area in the mountain.  good stuff.

-Steve, who knows techno
