RS Tower & Module setup at Exeter 2011 - Westbound

Cab ride from staging to the end of the line at Oakdale, shot on our modular model railroad setup at the Exeter show 2011. Starting in Staging we pass through the RS Tower layout, the interlocking there and the commercial bakery called Big Donut, we then swing left onto the modules - in order Crossing curve, farm curve, Sterling yard, bridge curve (start double track), Crosskeys swing bridge, Alpha (end double track), RSX (flat crossing), depot curve, Emmery and Emmery Crossing, Oak Creek (bridge), Dale Yard, Gillsburgh (engine terminal) and Oakdale. Power is a Genesis F45. The layout won the layout operators choice awards, so thanks to all our crew of helpers for making such a great show possible!

why does that guy have a mic??

@Feltmountainbiker - we were dispatching the single track mainline on the modules using track warrants, so all the crews involved in the ops on that bit had 2-way radios to talk to the dispatcher.

Sweet view, and a great looking layout! What type of camera you using? I have been wanting to do this but cant find a small enough camera to fit though tunnels.

@ohiosouthern - Looked up the current model and it says it's a Veho VCC-003 MUVI Micro DV Camcorder - that's slightly different (updated) from the model I have but it looks the same shape/size. It's kinda tall and thin, but i've mounted it on the end of an old hopper car and it comes in around the same height as an autorack - the lens sits about the height of the top of a standard EMD 2nd gen cab window so not too far out.
