  8. i love your layout, and are your trains lightly weathered? because it looks like they are

    Comment by geminijets11 — July 31, 2009 @ 9:56 pm

  9. Most of my train cars are lightly weathered with chalks and sealed with testors dullcoat. I haven’t had the chance to do them all but I would like to.
    Thanks

  11. This is really Great Mario! Where did you get the catenary wire?

    Comment by rrtimetables — August 15, 2009 @ 9:48 pm

  12. The catenary is made by MTH. It’s real easy to install and can be powered if you like.
    Thanks

  13. I like that NYC Berkshire! Could you show a whole overview of the layout? Thanks!

  14. Although I model in N scale you’ve still provided me with plenty of inspiration for my own model railroad project, and I humbly thank you.

  15. the NYC cars remind that this one time i went to this hobby shop and they had Lionel trains set up and it was a NYC steam engine pulling Alaska coaches and me and my dad were “you would never see that in real life”

  17. Very nice! Im working on a winter one right now–well, im building the table and staring it.

  18. what camera and camcorder do you use

    Comment by GoldenCreekValleyRR — November 8, 2009 @ 1:38 pm

  19. I used a Canon S1 for the video clips. It’s really a digital still camera but has an excellent video mode. The camera also has a manual focus lock that allows the auto focus to remain off so when the trains go by the camera dosen’t seek to find focus.

    The stills were taken with a variety of cameras, some are: Sony R1, Fuji S9100, Canon S1, Nikon D3, D40.

    I found that composition, focus, and camera placement were the most important factors in getting good pictures.
    Thanks
