Train Meet at Emerson May 2009 Here is a little fun I had with the video camera showing a meet between a mixed freight and loaded coal train at Emerson, GA on my under construction CSX Dixie Line layout in N-scale: [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfxsyt3kAVw"]YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.[/nomedia] Jamie
Something a little different for my video Layout Removal Timelapse on Vimeo Filmed over 3 days in August 2009 just before we moved back home to New Orleans from Houston.
Shaun, very well done! Different, but still understandable and enjoyable. I expect I'll be doing the same within a year or two.

Victory lap Major milestone achieved tonight - the first train to travel a complete circuit around the layout. It's missing roadbed, the track's not all glued down, and I'm a LONG way from driving the golden spike, but I can FINALLY watch a train run around the layout unattended.

Awesome! And man, you've done an incredible job on that road-rail bridge!! Absolutely love it! :thumbs_up::thumbs_up:
