    Hi all,

    A sunny day in Ingvar's garden. Trains running, both in and out of control [​IMG] Some electric problems in the last minute forced Ingvar to disconnect some power feeders to the track. Guess the voltage drop was bad on some parts. But good weather and a few good freinds. This time there was only European trains. Pictures in my gallery

    Sorry to here that. My fault, [​IMG] wrong protection. To see full size picture one must be loggerd in. This prohibited you to see the videos. Just did changed that.
    Thanks for letting me know.

    Thanks. Just fun to play with the camera. Once in a while I can capture something that's not too bad [​IMG]

    Just a pitty Kennet wasn't there with his SD45 and all his hoppers. Whould have been nice to see that train on the big wooden bridge.

    The Video's were Great..
    Just need to figure out how to get a Bigger Video into a Smaller File..
    I would love to see more Video's of your Garden Railway As I myself have nno room and my parents will not let me set one up as they are afraid I will spend way too much money...

    Thanks Magnat. I'm using TMPGEnc to converting from QuickTime to MPEG. TMPEnc is freeware and very easy to use. Got that from another thread on trainboard. Then I use Pinnacle Studio to convert to other formats and resolutions.
    Since the winter is knocking on the door I guess the train running season is almost over. But a sunny day I might running some more.
    Hope you can build a layout yourself some day. It's very nice to see the trains running around. Hopefully I'll be able to just watch the trains next year. Have some ideas to use the PC to control the trains. Still have the possibilities to run manual.

    Winter should not stop the Trains??
    You should just use less expensive ones and if it snows use a Snow plow to shift the snow..
    G-Scale are outdoor and should be able to be run in any weather..
