A Layout Video
I've always loved to run long trains. They can be a pain however, if you want to turn them around to run in the other direction. For that reason, when I built the current layout, I incorporated a pair of … Continue reading

What the Heck!
Now that I've incorporated a brief intro that identifies whose video it is, I've enabled embedding for the Big Boy video from YouTube. Here it is.

Adventures in Video
Videos can come about in some unusual ways. The videos I have on my web site of the UP Big Boys show them double-headed. I got an email asking about the pulling power of a single locomotive. I don't have … Continue reading

Last of the Forgotten
I think I've now shot videos of all of the PS2 trains and locomotives (both those that came that way and those that I converted from PS1) that I have. The last three — UP DC-3 track inspection car, PRR … Continue reading

With the reshoot of the Standard Gauge #10 Christmas set, I've completed the reshooting of all of the old toy train videos. All 73(!) on the web site have either been reshot or reencoded and all are now at 720×480 … Continue reading

More of the Forgotten
I don't quite know how it came to pass, but none of my four subway sets ever made it into a video. I've fixed that omission and have posted four videos — Lo-V IRT, R-1 IND, R-32 BMT, R-36 IRT … Continue reading

Art Deco
Some old streamlined locomotive designs seemed to come right out of the Art Deco school. Yesterday's contribution was a video of the MTH Premier model of the PRR S1. Today's is the MTH Premier model of the New York Central … Continue reading

An Interesting Day
Having been unable to sleep last night (sigh), I went to the Railroadiana show today with my friend Bob. It's a nice show that I haven't been able to attend the last few years due to a scheduling conflict with … Continue reading

The Allegheny – A Video
I've reshot the video of the MTH Premier C&O Allegheny (a massive model of a massive prototype) in action with some Atlas Reefers. I've included a slow-speed run-by that lets you see and hear the synchronized CHUFF! n'PUFF! of Protosound … Continue reading
