HO Scale Yard Move with Coal

I took this video after I cleared most of the yard out. I used two Proto 2000 switchers to move the camera as this coal train entered the yard. This yard is a double ended yard and is currently my main yard. I have plans for a bigger yard that will hold over 500 cars but there is still a ways to go before I can finish it.

Hope everyone enjoys the video.

If you dont have the real estate anymore, you could always sell them to help finance a smaller N scale layout. I know it may be hard to do after being used to HO scale and the space, just a thought.

@rdw283 wow, thats amazing, i hope your new business works out and that you can find some space again in the future for another layout

@1starwarsman I am thinking of selling my collection, I am still in the air about it but its looking closer to me selling then keeping.

@monsterjamkid Thanks, I had two Proto's pulling the HD cam down the tracks while taking this.
