Nice vid Phil.

Really emphasis how long the layout is, looks great.

What camera did you use and how did you mount it?

 

Cheers

Guy

 

Thanks Guy - now you know why I haven't finished my helix - great work on your by the way.

 

It's just my standard point and click camera (a Fujifilm F600EXR), balanced on a BDA, then pushed along by my Freightliner 57 003 with sound to add to the atmosphere.

 

The camera stuck out quite a bit and I had to move some things out of the way after a couple of disasters.

 

I'll look forward to a cab view trip up and down your helix next.

It's dedicated to Swifty to show I can quickly switch from 90's Railfreight to modern Freightliner.

Thanks very much Phil!

The video has made me really look forward to building mine...

Thanks,

Tom

:)

 

 

P.S You must be the opposite of pitbull1845 (Scott) going from 90s rail freight to freightliner! Lol!

And not that I'm bored on a Sunday afternoon or anything...

I resorted to cleaning out the loft, I can actually see the floor now

Never mind Blue wardrobes, that fella up North has got a working helix.

 

What are you playing at man?! ;)

 

I know, I've been distracted playing with the trains :O

 

I also worked out that I really need to start at the bottom and fit the fiddle yard first then add the bottom of the helix to that. I now have the points so will get cracking on it - honest.

More messing round with the videos - hopefully something for everyone.

 

Freightliner Class 57 action

(and yes I know the rear axle on the container wagon is not fully on the track)

 

1990's Class 37 action

 

The sound effects are helpfully provided by 57 003 and not the '37s

 

And yes Ian I know what I should be doing, but have also got even more sidelined building another bridge.

Hi Mate

 

Great CAB CAM you have, and here's me thinking there actually had a small enough camera to rest inside the front dash of the loco... lol

 

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

 

Thanks and yes' I'm afraid it's all a bit low tech once you see behind the scenes.

You can actually buy tiny cameras pre-fitted into wagons, where you just insert a memory card to save the video onto - in both OO and N, which would be great if you needed to fit through a tunnel or something.
