January 19, 201411 yr already a nice collection and great parcours was going to say the same thing, love the layout and variety. A great start to a Sunday!
January 20, 201411 yr Author Thanks guys! I got the red diesel 3677 last saturday with some extra straight track, so i just had to see how it would look if i used all the track that i have in a single layout. It's also the first time that i've layed a track since my dark ages, the yellow electric train 7939 was purchased last week in the 4in1 super pack... It was only 169 euro's so i had to grab it before it was gone. Same with the red diesel though, wanted to order it last friday but the shop i wanted to buy from was sold out all of a sudden. Called the next cheapest shop on brickwatch.net and it's near where i lived, he had one set remaining, so i reserved it and picked it up the other day. Really love that red diesel.....
January 20, 201411 yr The video's a lot of fun! I like that the camera was further back, so you get a nice look at the engine and front cars twisting around the curves. Thanks for uploading!
January 21, 201411 yr Watching that video is one way to get dizzy quickly. Nice collection How did you motorize the Constitution?
January 21, 201411 yr Author It's not motorised yet.... Same as the ghost train.. Both were pushed along the track by the yellow electric train.
March 8, 201410 yr Author I have made another video... This time with a motorized 79111 Constitution train chase, 10219 Maersk train and i also got a 4563 Load and haul railroad. (part of the track is now 9V) http://youtu.be/lU0w_DvUCo4 Enjoy! Edited March 8, 201410 yr by Jorrith

March 9, 201410 yr It is a fun thing to do on a Sunday. Sometimes I get the chance especially if my mate brings his boy around to play. It can be great fun watching the trains chase each other and all that. The worst bit is putting it all away at the end. If only I had room for a permenant layout!!
March 9, 201410 yr Author Thanks all! @ Hrw-Amen: I feel your pain, since i also lack the room for a permanent layout... But the upside is that everytime you lay track, it's different every time! But indeed, putting it away again sure is a pain.
March 14, 201410 yr Fun video Jorrith and a great idea to mount the camera on the train! What kind of camera are you using, if I might ask? I'm thinking it would be cool to have a wireless camera which can send back a signal to a monitor so my kids and I can view everything in real time.
March 20, 201410 yr Author I am using a Contour HD 720P camera, but this camera is outdated, and there is a 1080 (full HD version) now, and some others. I have used it for filming while playing paintball for the last 3 years, but i am very sure there are lighter and smaller camera's for this use now, and at a lower price. For this purpose you don't need a camera that can take a beating... (it got shot up the lens with paintballs a few times)
