Huh...

I input the video URL into the post editor under "Flash" and I see it twice in the initial post.  Not sure if that's just visible to me, some quirk of the new editor, or what.

*EDIT* Resolved using Alan's suggestion here  https://forum.mrhmag.com/post/mrh-website-problem-posting-video-12197635 .

Oh, I don't think anyone will

3D vision?

Dear Rob,

We know what you were aiming for, it was actually an attempt at presenting left-eye/right-eye 3D, where clicking/starting the LH player 1/3rd second before the RH player gave the stereoscopic illusion, wasn't it...???
(just a pity the page alignment and player width weren't in on the memo...)

Happy Modelling,

PS anyone remember Ben King's stereoscopic images from the Timber City and NorthWestern in MR?

I checked there are the same

I checked there are the same number of cars in both videos. Nice work the back drop and curving track go well together. Thanks for sharing your video. I have been going back and following your layout blogs and did not realize how prolific of a poster as well as worker you are. I hope to get finished with reading all of your stuff when I return home next week. Thanks for sharing lots of good info on there, really liked the biscuit construction.

very nice

 Thanks for the video, as a newer model railroader, I find your posts to be inspirational and informative.

Video

Good to finally see some video, Rob. The scenery and backdrop look absolutely beautiful. Nice combination of freight cars, too. Bet it would be a real treat to participate in an op session on the 8th Sub.

Looking good

Rob;

I'll echo some of the previous comments and add that your scenery represents the area very well. Having rail-fanned that part of the WP, I can say you have the colors and textures just right.

That Broad, Sweeping Curve

Seeing a train running through makes one realize what a broad, sweeping curve that is.  I also like the way the terrain is leveled out by use of that big fill.

Nice job on a very believable scene.

Thanks All

That effect may demonstrate a key benefit of the smooth curves possible from spline roadbed.  This location is part of what becomes a 28" minimum radius turnback curve.

Here's a longer view of the aisle.  The sharpest part of the curve is hidden from typical viewer eye level unless you make a special effort to look over the hill.

Really like the over all

Really like the over all view. Your great use of the backdrop and scenery makes the curve look much larger than it is. You definitely have talent where backdrops are concerned. Your painting skills appear to translate well to your scenery skills as well many folks are good at one and not both.

Beautiful !

Great piece of work........

You have also helped me make a decision about some scenery I am working on right now.

I love the view block on the curve - timely and inspirational

Wonderful

Rob, it is so inspiring watching your beatiful scenery and backdrops.

Thank you for sharing with us posts on technics, lot of photos and now video!

I have loved seeing your works since you was on the frontpage of MR as a tenager!

The feaure on your next layout has also been one of my favourite MR articles.

But all the sharing here is just wonderful. Thank you.

Scrub Brush

Hi,

What did you use for the blue/green scrub brush?  I can see it is ground foam, but can you tell me the brand name and product color that you used?  I need to get some scrub brush that looks just like that for our club layout (Mt. Hood Model Engineers Club in Portland, OR), as Dan Parr and I are redoing a lot of the scenery on the club layout, but I haven't been able to locate any of that material yet.  If you wish, you can see what we have been doing lately by checking us out on our new Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/692067774175374/

Or, you can just go to Facebook and do a search for the "Mt. Hood Model Engineers Club", and you should be able to find us easily enough.  I just started our Facebook page about 3 weeks ago, and do not have all of the layout posted there yet.  I am going township area by township area, and have 5 areas posted at this point.  As we make the changes to areas, I am taking photo's to to show our progress as time goes on.  By the way, if you wish to join us (to keep updated on our layout), just ask and I will add you onto our list of Facebook members (this is just for Facebook only).

So getting back to what I needed to say, we have redone a lot of the scenery thus far in our North Powder area, and have been working on the foliage and some structures to finish up with that side of the mountain (see Facebook page to understand where I am talking about).  We are now beginning to redo the rockwork around a town named "Timber" (this name will change to "John Day", once we finish with the scenery in this area.  We will need that scrub brush material for this area as well.  Would really appreciate a reply back on this, so thank you in advance!

PS the club also has a website, but at this point, it has not been updated in quiet a while.  You can check out a lot of the older pics here - http://www.mthoodmodelengineers.org

Re: Jeff

The sagebrush is 3M paint stripping pads (I find them at Lowe's), torn into pieces, coated with 3M Super 77 adhesive, and then with AMSI brand "Eucalyptus" coarse ground foam (with some finer foam of the same color to fill in).  AMSI foam is stocked by some hobby shops, and is available through Walthers http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?manu=137&category=Scenery&split=30 .  Accurail sells a similar color of foam called "Sagebrush"  http://accurail.com/accurail/sunlit/foam.htm .

Wow and i thought i had to become a Western Pacific Fan...

Hey! What a Great Layout. including scenery and a nice overall feel... What type of Track do you use? Nice backdrops as well!  

I don't think that anyone who

I don't think that anyone who doesn't live in the West, or hasn't visited here can really appreciate just how spot on Rob's modeling is. The backdrop and scenery don't just look great they are "correct" to the nth degree.

As the saying goes, its the next best thing to being there.

Great work, Rob,

George

Thanks Carson and George

In this spot it's Micro Engineering code 83.  There's lots more on building the layout in my blog for those with other questions.  See the link in  my signature.

sagebrush

Rob, thanks a heap!  This is really going to help us bring out that feeling of eastern Oregon on our club layout!
