CNJ 1000 Switching at the Bronx Terminal

Full Length Video
honestly….

I was going to wait until the start of the Train Show on Friday to post some video of the layout operating but figured why wait. Today I will be dismantling the layout, packing it up and stuffing it into the van. We leave tomorrow morning. I suspect I would not get time to do it otherwise so I decided to post it now.

I shot this video last evening so it is very current. It is the boxcab switching the freight house and loading some cars onto the carfloat.

Youtube has a tendency of making model railroad videos look jerky when they play. The boxcab is a very smooth operating engine, any jerky motion is in the video. Youtube also has a tendency of making cars derail, but I got lucky on this video.

If you really want to see it running, stop by the Train Show next weekend! If it doesn’t fall out of the van, it will be set up and running there.
