N Scale 3 J Rail System Vermont Rails Show

Video, Editing, and Creatively, put to Music, of the 3 J Rail, Modular Display Layout, by Robert Montanye, at 2003 Vermont Rails Train show, Essex Junction Vt. While operating 2 trains, going in opposite directions, with a Digitrax, DT 300 throttle, I was not paying attention too, Robert's videoing, ( tend to run trains faster at shows, for the children), and would have slowed the trains, for much more realistic grade crossing scenes. Since this video, I have increased the length, from the gates, for placement of the optical sensors, that activate the gates, to come down, well before the train arrives.

nice but no sound to it.

Even though there was no sound to be heard, this was still a great clip of a great layout. What's more, you've provided me with inspiration for my own N scale model railroad project. Thank you.

Question for you all. After years of having HO scale I have gone to N scale. I have bought a Bachmann empire builder kit and some extra track. This track is the E-Z track is there any track that can be used instead of buying the E-Z track. I would love to get some feedback please.

Oh ok, so the trains were going faster and it just looked like the gate was a little behind in timing. I thought there was a problem with the gates but the train was going faster then it should.

Hey john! *waves* I was wondering how I was going to get this up here. You beat me to it. :)

When is your next show? I have a MUCH better camera nowadays, (actual DV, instead of VHS-C) So I'll be able to get the Dam & waterfall, plus the (royal gorge?) bridge on the other side.
