Well I got a new video camera for Christmas and have been trying it out.I took it to our club today (The Tennessee Valley Model Railroaders) and got some new video of my "Patched Southern Pacific" and my "Canadian Pacific" trains running on our NTRAK layout.I still am learning the software and trying to figure out how to add music to block out the talking but I think it turned out pretty good.Thanks for looking and please feel free to give me any advice on making it better. Also thanks to Leo Bicknell of "Reality Reduced" for his advice on the HO forum. Here is the link: [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6dmsnMg_Y8"]YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.[/nomedia]
Nice camera work. I love those canadian cylindrical hoppers. I wanted to ask who makes that ADM hopper?
Hey thanks for the compliments.The ADM hopper is a Trinity Covered Hopper from Intermountain. http://www.imrcmodels.com/n/html/67209.htm
Another rolling stock question, what are the first three box cars and where did you get them? They look like insulated box cars I need on my line... Thanks, Karl
Awesome! I love the transplanted UP door on the lead unit! How'd you do that? And those grey boxcars with the orange stripe - what roadname is that? Never seen the prototype before but they look slick!
Hey Karl, I found those at a train show last year.They were from Red Caboose and the road name was Manufacturers Railway and they had 6 road numbers.I bought them all from a dealer for $10.00 a piece and they are one of my favorite cars I own. I checked Intermountains web page for a photo since they own red Caboose now but I could not find one.I think the model is discontinued.
The boxcars you refer to are the Red Caboose ones I mentioned in the other post.I wish I could find more of them.As far as the engine,I painted and applied decals to that going off of a photo I found online.Here is the photos up close.
Here is a photo of the prototype of the boxcar you guys were asking about released in 2006 by Red Caboose.If I am correct it hauled beer out of St. Louis or still does. http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/msix9809.jpg
Thanks, I just saw this pic while searching on the railroad myself! Turns out it's owned by Anheuser Busch Co. They should've just called it Bud Rail and used the clydesdale horse as their logo
Tbone- Thanks for the info, that is a large part of the consist I am planning on modeling. You can see it here coming from a beverage distributor in Northern MN. Here is a shot I took of the same Local a week earlier heading North. Right there at the front of the train in both shots. Now I just need to find the cars.
