  • Every time the guy says "Steam Locomotive" a diesel is shown.

  • Thanks for the comments. Couple things:

    1. Just because the VO says it, doesnt necessarily mean it needs to be shown.

    2. This went through several rounds of revisions, and no one had a problem with it.

    3. The average viewer of the commercial isnt going to know the difference between a diesel or steam locomotive.

    4. This was done for free for the VMT museum as my way of giving back.

  • Well I'm not complaining but the argument for "The average viewer of the commercial isnt going to know the difference between a diesel or steam locomotive." I don't feel is valid. Why continue to make a visual display (commercial) which seems to make no attempt to educate the difference at that point? It's a nice commercial and I'm glad you made it but I just wanted to argue a point. This may be the first impression people get, and if the idea is to educate, I feel that every small part helps.

  • Quite honestly, I didnt know the difference between the two when I made the video. They gave me about 400 pictures to chose from, and I cut a bunch together and animated it--

    This video wasnt about "educating" people, it was about getting people to the museum.

  • Looks like a cool place. If I ever get to Roanoke, it will be my 1st stop.

    PS: Isnt C&0 614 on loan there right now? I rode behind 614 as a kid.

  • problem is the midwest is the real hubof railroad activity today and back then as most westbound trains terminated in chicago and most westbound railroads started there

  • DUDE I WENT THERE!!!

  • I'm glad that the VMT had this commercial made. They can always use more visitors and volunteers.

  • Yep, it really doesn't matter, most people who would see it would know or (biting lip) wouldn't care, and some people would actually be interested.
