A Model Train Runs Between Two Houses

Показать описание
This all-new model train layout takes my G-scale trains all the way through my house, out in to the yard and garden, and then over to my neighbor's garage. Using a DCC power supply, it's very simple to run this locomotive from a wireless tablet... so simple, even a child can do it, as you'll see in a few brief shots of the neighbor boy, six-year-old Maddox, carrying a tablet around with him as he controls the trains.

I filmed this video with a GoPro... at times attaching the camera on to the side of the train, and at other times with the camera mounted on a gimbal for handheld shooting.

This video features a LGB brand model train depicting the Santa Fe Super Chief passenger train in the classic warbonnet color scheme. In a few shots of my "train room" you'll see some, but not all, of the other model trains in my collection.

To give you an idea of the expense of doing a long layout like this...
Each four foot long segment of track costs about $25. So, when running a line over to the neighbor's house, the cost of track adds up quickly!

I always thought it would be super awesome if two model railroaders lived close to each other that they could run a mainline between their houses and connect their layouts together!

That has got to be one of the best model train layouts, ( idea) I have ever saw.

Hey Jim, Hunter from Iuka MS here. Just wanted to say thanks for giving me the inspiration for getting model trains. For Christmas I should be getting a Polar Express set. I love your videos btw!

I just took a long journey and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it was. How could I begin to describe seeing a house from a vantage point I thought impossible?
Can't wait to ride the rail again!

I think these videos with the tracks laid out like that are just amazing. I know that it takes a lot of work and patience. I love videos of trains like this. Thank you for sharing your hard work.

Well done and unique, I also was a bit shocked to see another train towards the end.

Glad Maddox has you for a neighbor. Seems like a sweet kid & you’re good to him & for him (and trains are good for a young boy’s soul)!

Watch out kid you're being followed .

Kid : Mom look what followed me home . Can I keep it .

Mom : Only if you, clean up after it , feed it and make sure to leave some poopy papers down .
I don't want diesel all over the floor .

Like I commented on another video, this must have taken so much time and effort. And it is damn awesome.
