Model Railroading > More SP action at Quisling CA

Filmed at the August 2015 club meet.

The music is there to cover up the background noise. If you don't like it, then turn it down!

Thanks for looking.

Nice video!  The music is quirky and actually not that bad!

Love the SP action with late 80's theme mostly - BN left hand logo box cars are post 1991 IIRC.  The PFE cars at the Sunkist warehouse!

Always a pleasure to view SP in action.  Long live the SP!

Cheers, Jim Fitch

Reallly like what you've done to the Ross Cement RS1.  The weathering is just right.  I appreciated the music over the useless background chatter.  Some people don't have the courtesy to shut up when someone is recording!

Ross Cement #17 is by Rob Mallett.

I'm afraid that I disagree with you in respect of the chatter. It was a club meet, and the dispatcher's desk is also right next to the module. Two-way radios were being used to control the set-up. You can't expect ten guys to constantly be told to keep it quiet when the filming goes on. I'm happy with the compromise.

"Chatter" is part of being at a club setting. It's wrong for someone to expect everyone to be quiet while filming, if so, all you would hear is the useless noise from countless units running around the layout. The club members need to communicate to run the layout. That is how it works at my club.

Nice video, chatter happens, nice fix.

The Ross Cement RS-1 looks good. Not sure it would have been allowed on an SP main though, maybe a siding or interchange track. Nice work though, looks like fun.

Great video Brian. You need to do a switching video from near ground level. Do a fixed point video using a tripod or just having the camera sit on the layout. Then switch a bunch of cars in a yard using a skewer stick being careful to move the cars as little as possible. By editing out all the "hand of god" intervention scenes, you could have it like it was switching  in real life. Might even place some conductor figures on the cars and locomotives in different scenes like they are doing the work. I did a video like this once for a nephew. But the steam engine I was using was having issues, so the train handling was quite rough. Good for a kid, but want to do something similar with a better operaitng diesel for a general audience.

Ted, I've done a few switching videos in the past, and posted them onto YouTube.

I liked this video. I would not guess that this was in the UK. Nice modeling. By the way the music at the beginning of the video remined me of the music at strip clubs in the 60's when I was in the Navy.

WOW!   Very NICE!  In the first part of the video it brought back memories from MANY years ago when as a salesman I used to call on California Airframe Parts just east of Oakland Airport.  NICE!!  Mark  <><

I like the use of old fruit crate labels on the fascia.
