Awesome video as always :)

Love your layout, I am enviouse.

[stagmie]

That is some great action shots! First rate layout you have there. Tell me, is the layout a end to end or is a lap type layout?

[JonGrant4472]

@stagmie The layout is 20ft long, of which 12ft is sceniced and the rest consists of 2 x 4ft fiddle yards, one at either end. I'm a big fan of end-to-end layouts, rather than roundy-roundy

Fluid-head tripod?

[JonGrant4472]

@rwundrock No, beer mat to steady the camera :)

[MonsterRailroad]

JOHNNY GRANT! WHAT UP!!

[JonGrant4472]

@MonsterRailroad Hello Al, Wazzap!! As you can see, I've been working my socks off getting the scenery on the layout finished for an exhibition in a few months time. Now to work on the locos and freight cars. There's an awful lot of graffiti to get done.

How's the UP layout coming on, mate?

Jon

nice run- bys

[MrFarmer1992]

Very cool. Is this scene part of a layout or is it all on its own?

[JonGrant4472]

@MrFarmer1992 Sweerhome Alabama is a 12ft long short layout with a 4ft 'fiddle yard' on each end. Therefore the overall run is 16ft for a 4ft-long train
