PSC Train Show 2013
« on: February 04, 2013, 19:48:33 »
I had a great time taking part in the Seattle train show this year, thanks to Glazz74 for inviting me to help out. Also present to help was Knight Train, and Ronastoo joined us for Saturday afternoon and dinner. I have lots of photos online in my Flickr account.
Train show photos can be seen on my account http://www.flickr.com/photos/71879015@N00/ starting there and working along for about 90 images.
I have three set up photos I took but seem to have forgotten to upload them. They will be posted later today.

This is my part of the display, the Prehistoric Forest park along the end of the layout. It is 18 inches wide by 8 feet long.

There is also one video I put together. It just shows the trains running. These include the freight train and two slightly different versions of the work train. The second with a custom work crane we came up with on the fly.
Video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlUO_tuiWPk

One of the things that interesting about this layout, is other than the tables and wood between the tracks in a few places, it's 100% playmobil.  All the buildings, trees, are 100% playmobil, with the only exception I could find is the copper smokestack on the playmobil locomotive in the engine house as seen in this picture.

I use a Canon PowerShot SX210 IS for both stills and video.

Here are the set up scenes

Its a lot of work isn't it  ;) Wish the damn US was not so large. 
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
