Just a video of me running three trains at once on my quirky layout.  I love model trains!

Great video...love the fast running, as model trains should be running.   Most videos require fast-forwarding, to prevent falling asleep during everlasting slow drag at 25 scale mph.

Great set up you have there!!!    I'd have to guess you are a master at wiring to get all that coordinated.   Impressive!
I disagree about the fast-running.   It throws the look more into the toy category.    A few ticks down and it would be more like watching the real thing pass by.

WAY too fast for running in HO scale in my opinion should keep it at prototypical speeds however, a nice layout.

I particularly like the way the layout goes around your work area and control panel.  A swivel of 180 degrees with the chair and you can see what's happening behind you.  I can't recall seeing the locomotive on the freight train.  What was it?

lol I don't remember what was pulling the freight one sorry. Probly my SP PA  A&B
the speed was set at 75 scale mph...... Going down the grade they tend to speed up, but isn't 75 pro typical ? And yes..... I'm having way too much fun....... I'll get serious eventually....... But right now I'm just adding to my equipment and learning.....
thanx for the replies.
