  • reminds me of an article and pics that you see in Classic Trains Mag. Well done my friend! Your layout is extremely well done and you have a talent for editing!

  • @MikeLucy0903 In the interest of accuracy - it's not my layout. It belonged to master modeler John Pryke - it' since been dismantled. And funnily enough, I'm a tape editor in my "day job"!

  • ...in our lives...there are moments, when an experience proves itself to be...a, "keeper". Great or small -the. 'life' that it takes on comes from a perfect blending of sound & motion, which melds itself into a living work of art. This little video is one of those moments. Great lay-out and wonderful phrasing between the musics' timing & beat and the trains' mechanical cycles and track-movement...from turn-table to fade-out. That studio should be payin' you to do this in hi-def...

  • @SittingMooseShaman Wow, that's about the nicest thing anyone's ever said. Thank you so much. Sadly this model railroad no longer exists but it lives on in video. Ironically, my "studio" just laid me off, so I guess their taste isn't as refined as your own! Thanks again for the very kind words.

  • I go to school in New Haven, and this looks better than the actual railroad :-P Well done! I wish they'd bring some of this old classic equipment back—there's no romance in these aluminum-can Metro-North things...

  • Thanks - John Pryke did a magnificent job on this model RR. He relocated a couple of years ago, so sadly these scenes are no more. We shot this about a week before the sawzalls came out.

  • Wow, what a cool video it looks exactly like a magazine like MikeLucy said. GREAT JOB!!!

  • como se llama la cancion??' Song???

  • Nice first shot!

  • 2 people couldnt get their tyco train set boxes open

  • @tartopfan Cool! I'll have to look them up. The New Haven is a real classic—in its heydey it was one of the major railroads in New England, actually carrying freight when our country actually built stuff. Its livery lives on, and once in a while you can catch the orange, black, and white locomotives, but it's not what it used to be, especially now that the passenger traffic is run by New York's MTA (although they do a great job).

  • @TheRealmsOfGold no I'm in northeast Alabama but had 2 fallen flags in the 1890's, The Southern & The Fort Payne & Eastern railroad
