I mounted my camera on top of my dash 9's for a trip around the track at Bitter Creek. My Flip Video camera does not have Image stabilization, so some of the footage is kinda jumpy. The track plan is very well laid out and the ride is about 15 minutes. Hope you enjoy!
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. California, correct?

Man i really love NS and i love these 2 NS Dash 9s you have. Did you buy these from a manufacturer or did you build them yourself? 5 Stars man. I wish i could afford this hobby but unfortunately i have to stick with my HO scale NS and UP LOL!!!!

@Grumpy7783 The were built by Mountain Car Company in Salem, Virginia. This was there second time away from LALS. I also model NS in HO as you do. Depending on where you live, you could probably find a live steam track/club that is not to far away, and get involved that way

@1218611 Iive in Southern Georgia right near the Florida state line. Do you have to have any diesel or steam powered loco's to be part of a club like that? I'm in the Navy so getting some Dash 9s like yours is darn near impossible with my budget LOL!!!. I'm currently with the Golden Isles Model Railroad club in Brunswick, Georgia. Take it easy and i always look forward to seeing them D9-40CWs working.

@Grumpy7783 Most clubs don't require you to have your own train. Our club for example has 4 club locomotives for member to use. I'm not for sure about GA, but I do know there are some clubs in FL
