DK's O Gauge Trains - Halloween 2024 (Part 2) - 4 Separate Clips of Spooky Trains featuring a Zombie
Part 2 of my Halloween 2024 series.
As the title suggests, this video was produced having a little fun with my new METCA Halloween A5. I made (4) separate clips and added a lot of editing effects in post processing. There are (2) Zombie attacks that do not end well for the 1/48 scale Zombie. It is all for fun.
I hope you enjoy the video. If so, please leave a "like" and / or a comment.

Thanks!

    Top shelf video as always! The shot of the train crossing the bridge at the dog leg is a favorite. Question came up over here. With the physical amount of track you have is track cleaning a scheduled maintenance or more of a as needed? And what are you using when it’s time to get after it? Keep the videos coming, we appreciate your time and effort! Thanks and Best regards. Keith/Hou, Tx.

      Hello Keith. I am glad you enjoyed the video. When I built the layout, I made sure to include that bridge feature. It is also one of my favorite locations to film. Track cleaning. Usually, every two weeks, I run (2) track cleaning cars around the layout. These are "dry" and use a Scotch Brite pad to clean the rails. Occasionally, I will use a wet cleaning product. I have tried the ones made for model railroads, they do a good job but a little pricey. What I use is "odorless" Mineral Spirits. I dampen (not soak) a piece of old t shirt and rubber band it to the pad of the track cleaning car and run it around. Maybe two times a year. Truth be told, in the 4 years my layout has been operational, using the cleaning cars with the Scotch Brite pads works the best. I never have any issues with locomotives and dirty track. I hope that helps. Thanks for your comment!

    Today your beard is looking mighty fine. Mighty, mighty, fine. Regarding the trains, the Gundersons are my favorite with those end bulkheads.

    Hi Don, great video as always. The reason Lionel calls it a Dash 9 is because that's what the model is. Lionel doesn't have tooling for the AC4400 so they used their Dash 9 tooling which is fairly close. The main differences are the trucks and that the AC4400 should have an inverter cabinet behind the conductors side of the cab.

    Hi Don. Another great video. Would you ever do a video sharing your track plan and walking through how it all flows?

    • @DonaldKeiser1981
      @DonaldKeiser1981 2 місяці тому

      Hello Keith. Yes, that is a good idea. My problem is I shoot all my layout video with a tripod and usually some extra studio lights for the dark areas. I could do it walking around with my iPhone but the quality would not be the same. However, it is a good idea and one I will consider. Thanks.

    Very nice! I like the selection of locomotives. It looks like and ex-Conrail 80 MAC, leading one of the trains. I always liked running the stack trains. They were nice and smooth, without much slack You don't see as many of the Gunderson's as you do the Husky"s, as well as some others, out on the mainline. An excellent video, as always.

      As always John, thanks for your comment and insight. Always appreciated! I promised no more Husky's in 2024. I do have a few more, I could have made another video of them. Time for something new and a little different. I have a lot of Atlas Frontrunners. They may be next.

      Thank you Hunter for the post. Yes I have. My only complaint, they are just too light to run in a longer consist. The detail is pretty good but all the plastic makes them suspectable to derailments.
