Bill, I really enjoyed this video. I grew up at the same time you and also model the 'end of steam' era, except from the other end of NYS around the Albany area. I recall trips to NYC with my Grandfather and stopping in Croton-Harmon to switch from steam to electric before entering the Park Avenue Tunnel into Grand Central Terminal. Now living in Tennessee, but still visit NY during the summer months. Love to see your O gauge railroad layout sometime. Thanks for posting the video. Lloyd
@@OGRUA-cam I can tell this was filmed on a hand operated video cassette recorder, given away by the warm fuzzy video artifacts and sound, in addition to the aspect ratio of the video being in 4:3 compared to the modern 16:9. It also looks like all of my home videos of me as a baby. It's quite nostalgic seeing actual VHS footage. To be fair, home VHS recorders like this were used well in to the mid 2000s before being superceded by digital cameras by 2010 or so.
@@KartKing4ever This was professionally shot with an Ikegami HL-79EAL 3-tube Plumbicon camera on Betacam SP video tape. The _"warm fuzzy artifacts"_ you see are the result of digitally up-sampling this to 1920 x 1080 _"pseudo-HD"_ from the original 720 x 486 SD video. It was *not* shot on a home VHS machine.

Really enjoyed this one, I say Mr Melvin did too. The part i liked was the 765 running. I
Can see why that is a favorite engine.
Lot of nice details!
Amazing Layout
Excellent. Thanks
Well done! 👍👍
Superb and creative piece of work, well done. Thank you for sharing.
All if it , just great!
great videos. when where they filmed? they seem old.
I think most of the layout tours are 15 years old and up
I'm 27 and this footage looks just as old, if not older than me. Reminds me of the Lionel videos I had as a kid.
@@KartKing4ever What makes the video look old to your eye?
