I forgot to include the "Air Line" section in my layout tour video from a few weeks ago, so here it is (and using a gimbal for the first time . . .). Constructive criticism, tips, suggestions, and other feedback always welcome, so lemme know what you think!

All this work is far beyond

All this work is far beyond my skill level...I think the split up scenes are a great way to set up for displays as you no longer need to include all the straight manotanous track work in between towns and scenes. Don't get me wrong, I do love a working masterpiece with the occasional heavy hauling consist but this is a great representation of history without over capitalising on the track work. 

I may be bias on switching and local branchlines just a we bit though...Everyone has their own preferences.

I have never seen a face tracking gizmo in action before...hope it helps with future filming...

Thanks much MB!

Thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to leave a comment! Yeah, the "shadow box" effect can be pretty helpful on a model railroad - especially if you don't have a lot of space.

And it does sound like we have local switching and branchlines in common! Hope you check out the blog and website for more on this part of the layout as well as the rest.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Chris
