Playing trains over the weekend.

Post by Tony Bird » Mon Jun 10, 2024 9:49 am

Hi,

Over the weekend I was playing with some of the steam models I made many years ago. Sorry about the noisy model, the gas jet was partially blocked and after clearing it, it decided to work like an organ pipe!



Take care Tony.

In that first clip of the red Shay (ish) loco, the cylinders hardly seem to be moving. I assume it's an illusion created by the camera .... :dontknow: .... or have you invented a very clever mechanism? ;)

Hi Rik,

The frame speed matched the cylinders I think?

Take care Tony.

Brilliant video Tony.

I love all those little locos, at first I thought you were following the loco at the start of the video, then I realised that you had put the camera in a wagon... :blondmoment .... :sign5:
