Nice videos, did you build the elevated platforms or did you buy them commercially? How do the MTH trains run for you? My only complaint about the MTH Challenger is how unprototypical it looks when negotiating a curve and the shorter radius curve it is the worse it looks. The boiler swings and hangs way out there on a sharp curve.
G scale club of Japan While I was looking at your videos, you tube always have other videos that match the name that you can also watch. There was a video called G scale Club of Japan #1 that caught my eye, so I watched it. It was a great video and they put on one great show. Ther was alot of LGB European style trains on video, but to my suprise they had American Style trains running there also, trains such as Bachmann shays, USA Trains diesel locmotives and rolling stock, Aristocraft diesel locomotives and rolling stock. Nice to see American style trains, especially made by Aristocraft and USA Trains is liked and bought on a global basis. I did notice just from G scale posts that there people who run USA Trains in Norway. It's amazing how 1:29 scale ratio has captured alot of audiences in the different parts of the world. I still say it all has to do with the huge amount of choices you can choose from between Aristocraft and USA Trains is what makes 1:29 scale ratio so popular.
EMD, The Elevated Layout was hand built out of Trex Lumber and 4x4's using metal fence posts spaced every 18" or so apart for supports, The MTH Locomotives run fantastic even on straight DC w/Radio Control I use The Aristo T.E. The layout that the videos were shot on has 16' Diameter curves and while there is some swing on the challenger its not that bad looking on the layout. Oh Thanks for the compliments on the Videos...
