Well my Unitrack K1 Turned up today... I have shot a small 264K Video of my Gp38 in Action.. See my Rail images account for a Treat.. The Video is called " My GP-38" Dial UpUsers it will only take 5 mins to download so Be Patient.. The K1 is a bit short at the moment so I have ordered more Straights... Stay Tuned for my Shink Video Very soon
OK.. Just Shot my Kato Series 500... Now the quality is not Speilberg, but he didn't have to Shrink it down to a 362Kb file.. As my layout improves so should my Video's So happy I can now run my Trains !!!!!!!!!! Even if the oval is only 1.2metres long..
Film Looks Good, congartulation on the K1 set. I tried the same kit first before making the decision to go with Kato for my layout. Kato really takes the hassle out of track and roadbed, it seems to be a quality product. Good Luck
I am only fairly New to Trains, and I simple love the Ease of the Unitrack.. My Series 500 Bullet train runs great on it..it being Kato aswell.. Okane, Look out in the " Does Anybody Run Passenger Trains" Post as if you are interested I will have a Photo of My ICE2 Train as soon as I get enough money to get the extra carriages.... If you need any help, Never be afraid to ask.. I would love to see some Photo's of your layout??
Magnat, Nice! Thanks for sharing. How do you make the vids? maybe I can do that. Man, I hear ya. I would be dead in the water if not for Kato Unitrak. I have done my abstact design in Paint and then the actual in Kato trak. It is beautiful now. Can't wait to share it.
Magnat, you're awesome. I wish I had the same zest for life as you, but engineering finals are making me turn into a grumpy old man. It's good to hear that trains are putting a smile on your face.
Add me to the list of satisfied Unitrack users. The green paper box for my K1 track set is getting a little doggy, but the rest of it is good as new, 7 years later. Whenever I need a train fix, have a new loco to test, or one needing break-in running, I get that box of track out, and in 10 minutes, I'm running trains. 10 minutes later, I can have it all put away. Here is the Table Mesa and Kitchen Creek, my test loop, set up on the dinette. This basic kidney-bean shaped loop has served as the main line on two prior layouts. The 15 degree, 19" radius curves make nice easements for the 12 3/8" radius turnbacks, and help smooth out the trasitions. It is very relxing to watch the train flow around the broad radius reverse curves in the middle of each side. Zen railroading at its best! I recognize there are many who would never consider Unitrack, and I respect that. But for me, it is an essential element. Unitrack, the Kato Mike, and NTrack all became part of my life about the same time in 1998. I had no idea what I was missing. It changed the hobby for me in a profound way. I doubt I would be serious about N Scale without it.
Grey one.. I use my Web cam and Windows Movie Maker to shoot the Video's.. Good thing is I have now figured out how to compress the Files so Dial up users can see them.. Long Train, Unitrack will be very valuable for you as therapy... Even after you have had the stroke Unitrack doesn't require steady hands to put together.. That table layout looks great.. Fluid : as for having Zest for life... Nah, the Trains are there to help me relax... The Movies I shoot are for those who would like to see a train in motion rather than a Picture, there seems to be a lack of N-Scale Train Movies available to people for free... i am just doing my bit to help.
