2008 Christmas Village Railroad (HD HiDef) - Video 5 of 5

Welcome to my 2008 Christmas village model railroad. This year, I have two On30 Bachmann trains running through a 4'x9' village. I will be posting several music videos like this one, so if you like it, please check out the others. Note that this video is in 720P high definition. Merry Christmas!

Yowza. Between the hi-def and that cool lighting, this model looks earily Real. Thanks for the hint on the blue paint. Wonder if those "moon" bulbs sold at pet stores to simulate moonlight would also work. Hmm?

I agree with all comments on the train speed. I'm having Train Envy.

@MsHolidayLights , Thanks for the complements. :-) Glad you like my vid. To be clear, I bought the dark blue/purple lights as is ... I didn't paint them. Menards has special lights like that I think.

Very Nice ! You are the first to set the train speed nice and slow - most people spoil their whole display by having their train run at break-neck speed which only makes their layout look smaller. I also like your video technique!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Yeah, the scary-fast trains bug me too. It's not a steam TGV people! ;-) Glad you like my train vids. I'll check your vids out too. Less than 5 months until Christmas! Take care.

Great job on video angle and the train made it look so real. Never thought about using black lights. Again great job.

Thanks. My black light bulbs are just regular bulbs with blue/purple paint, and they seem to work best. Dark blue Christmas lights would probably work too. Real black lights (fluorescent mercury tubes) just cause random things to have an eerie glow.

I really love your idea with the dark blue/purple lights, it gives your village a gorgeous Christmas night feel that I had never actually seen represented so well before. I will definitely be stealing that little solution of yours, hope you don't mind :)

Looking forward to your 2011 layout!

P.S.: Three cheers for On30 in Christmas village layouts! :)

Thanks! I'm already planning my Christmas layout for 2009. :-)
