Loco Project

[Irbricksceo]

I carry around a Sony 10 mp digital "pocket camera"  in the car for those times when opportunity pops up.  I also have a Nikon DSLR which I prefer to use for "serious" photo work.  My biggest gripe with the small digitals is that in bright sun you often can't see the back screen well and have trouble framing the photo.  There used to be some of those cameras that also had a rangefinder which was useful in those situations.  My next acquisition is going to be one of those neat little digital video cameras to replace video tape camera. 

I do miss range finders.

Somehow we got derailed on this thread.  

As promised, here is a video of my rebuilt locomotive.  Also, as promised, I am a terrible cinematographer... especially when it comes to focus.  

I intentionally did not add a soundtrack, so you could hear the quietness of the locomotive.

It's about 3 minutes.  

All of the rolling stock are craftsman kit pieces, save two scratch-built M-27f boxcars.

Hope you find it mildly entertaining, if not frustrating from the fuzziness.

Regards,

Jonathan

Addendum:  The jerkiness at the end of the first scene was somehow translated into the video during upload.  It's not the loco.
