In-ko-pah Railroad Freight Ride 2009

2009 -- It's a desert railroading adventure as you ride a freight train on the incredible In-ko-pah Railroad! This was shot in 2009, so it's a little out of date. I've made a lot of changes since then. Later on I'll put together a newer version.

raydunakin .. Beautiful garden railroad. Great job on the on-board filming and very clear. Love the natural sounds of your rolling stock making it's way along the winding tracks. This has to be one of my favourite layouts! Keep them videos coming. Regards..... '' Pipes '' @ GPWdotCOM .

@GPWdotCOM

Thanks! I need to shoot some new videos of the layout pretty soon. Most of these were taken a year or more ago and I've added a lot of new stuff since then.

Are your bridge peirs real concrete?

[raydunakin]

@MASON1246

Yes, they're real concrete.

The loco is a Bachmann "Anniversary Edition" 4-6-0, with a custom drive from Barry's Big Trains. The sound system is a Phoenix PB9. I'm using plain old track power provided by a power pack/controller. (I don't recall the brand offhand.) Eventually I want to get the Aristocraft TE Revolution so I can follow the train around the layout, and run multiple trains.

Thanks guys!

rhbeadle, most of the time when the camera was pointed opposite of the direction seen in the video, all you would see is our house, fence, etc. But there were a few good spots, I'll see about clipping them out and posting them separately.

Jerry, yes I hauled and placed all the rock by hand. Spent a lot of time breaking boulders with a sledgehammer too. Most of the rocks came from a large rockslide. The biggest one I broke up was 5 or 6 feet long and at least 3 feet wide.
