Videos from Ops session #6


After getting a new computer and getting use to the video editing program, I finally have a few videos to post.  While they are not the best, at least I got some practice with the camera and editing software.   I need to work on some lighting and then once I get some scenery down in places, they should look better.

  2. Allen - this is a nice collection of videos to complement your previous post on this operating session. Thanks for sharing.

    What is the song/soundtrack in the third video?

    Regards,

  3. Thanks Ron!
    It's Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Railroad Song" from the album "Nuthin' Fancy"

  5. First video is backed by Rusty Young's Grand Junction from Poco's first album "Pickin' Up the Pieces"!! Are we two like-minded Poconut N scalers? Tremendous, if so. Did you paint the ex-Conrail and PC GP-40's for the Katy? I remember them well down here in Southeast Kansas.

  6. Hey Kevin, thanks for the comment.
    I'm not huge fan of POCO or very familiar with them, but I heard this song a while back and thought it would make a great background song for a video.

    The exCR GP40 was a stock paint job that I modified and weathered. The exPC GP40 was painted weathered from scratch. I'm a closet fan of the KATY! After the UP/MP/WP merger they had trackage rights on the MoPac into Omaha and Lincoln. I seen the exPC unit come through town back then and always wanted to model it. Always thought it was a unique unit with the cardboard sign wired to the handrail!
