Hi All,

During the bad weather here in Colorado, I reviewed some of my old layout videos. Thought I would share a couple that are my favorites.

here is one of my passenger train coming through the fog:

Here is another of my stock train with a drover caboose I kitbashed from a standard Bachmann 8 wheel caboose:

The passenger train Loco is a version 5 Annie with Revolution radio control, is lithium ion battery powered and is equipped with Phoenix sound.  The freight loco #97 is a version 6 Annie with Revolution radio control with a sound receiver and is also battery powered.

Got a favorite video of your layout share!

Thanks Guys!

As for the caboose cars, I love the eight wheel caboose for kitbashing,  I had made one into a shorty eight wheel caboose and used the leftover to make the drover caboose.  I also used one to make into a snowplow.  Hard to beat the eight wheel caboose, great prices and metal wheels as well on the ones made after 2000.

Fog on an indoor layout? Dry ice and water?  ::)

Hi Joe,

I got the idea during Halloween.  My son is big into  the Halloween decorations and he had two of those fog machines going blasting out a lot of fog. I tried it on the layout I had in one of my barns and loved how it worked.  I was going to try it on my outdoor layout, but the wind was too high so I gav e up.  Never did try it again back then, but I am thinking of trying it on my new indoor layout.
