The New Oakville Sub

You will recall from last week the addition of crossovers and a siding near Caliente - here's some more now that scenery is a bit farther along. First an overall view:



A second train comes into view:



And a couple closer shots:

 

Looking good Jim, but I have a question or two and they are not meant to take away from your exceptional efforts.

1. Is the road intended to be a dirt road? If so I am sure you will add some texture to it. Can I suggest the AIM powders earth or sand colors mixed with liquid hairspray.
2. Are you planning to weather your locos and rolling stock? I may have asked this before but this thread is huge to ga back into.

I think these additions are a great idea.

Signed,

An Oakville Sub groupy.

 

Jim,

Your photos and layout are just outstanding!!!!!!

 

Boilerman: Thanks!

 

I really like what you've done, you've captured the look and feel of modern railroading. I can hear those UP locos thundering down the rails.

When I grow up I want to be just like you! :bear-wink:

 

Haven't yet figured out how to embed the player yet, but here's a video for you!

Dont worry about the embedding.. We're happy youve got some videos!!

That was amazing by the way!!

Post more when you can!!!
:mbiggrin:

 

Those broad curves really show off your proto length trains. Good job.

 

Jim, I hate you. That is one great looking long ass train. Wish I had that kind of room. Outstanding! Thanks for the video!

 

I don't think it's possible to embed on this board. I've never seen it done.

The video is sweet. Why? Because you used a TRIPOD!! Nothing worse than a shaky, hand held, handy-cam video. The Oakville Sub rules!!

 

Anymore videos?

 

jim great video!!!!!! Please make more:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

 

Thanks, All!

More videos will come, stay tuned - but I'm not gonna shoot video to the exclusion of other activities on The Sub...

 

Ok Jim , now that we know you can shoot video, you are going to have to make plenty more!

With trains at 40 + cars I start to drool ! Where's my hanky?

Jim...

the addition of those sound files made that even more realistic then I thought possible..

:thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

Still working on the crossover area, beginning to feel good about it.

A short catchall heads north:

I blame you, its all your fault! I'm now the proud owner of three Kato SD70Ace's wearing BNSF paint and some BNSF bethgons. :tb-biggrin:

Your layout is inspirational, keep up the good work and continue to share photos!
