Hi Phil, it always pays to experiment. You never know what you might discover. Certainly the drone shot has its place. I’m glad you feel as though there might be something in this for you. cheers, Rob

Hi David, Thank you. Yes, there are times the aerial shot can be helpful. For train spotting the eye level shots are best. Seeing the fine details is what I like to see. cheers, Rob

Thank you. Glad you watched and commented. Rob

It is about experimenting. Sometimes, when you least expect it, something great comes along. Best of luck, Rob

Hi Kev, Thank you. I've used several different phone tripod mounts over the years. The plastic ones are too weak, and the 3D-printed ones always break. This last one I got is metal; I have had it for a while now with no problems. Good luck, Rob

Hi Gary, I much appreciate your vote, Rob

Thanks

Thank you, I hope my efforts will help someone. Rob

Hi Tony, Thank you. I don't have anything to share you don't already know, my friend. Thanks for checking in, cheers, Rob

I hope it can help someone. cheers, Rob

@@FarlandHowe It's already helped me...I've made a mental note to make a better effort to film from scale eye level for a more realistic angle. Thanks again!

Thank you. It could be different depending on the rolling stock that would run on it. I think I decided on 1.25 inches.

@@FarlandHowe Thanks 😊

Thank you, Dan. I do like the pub. cheers, Rob

Thank you, Dan. It has seemed a very long time since I had the first 1,000.

Thank you. Glad you like it.

Rolling stock sure tracks well through larger curves even though manufactures specify they will run in tighter ones. 👍🏻

Thank you. Adding lighting to the flats above the shops was a fun project. I need more lighting projects. Rob

@@FarlandHowe we are into lighting too. Currently we have 3 ESU SignalPilot decoders we are using to run our lighting.

@@TwoRailfans , It is a great idea to use decoders for lighting. Are you using a separate power supply for the lights, or are you running them off your DCC supply?

@@FarlandHowe we are using 3 old DC controllers. The decoders allow you to use an external power supply or the DCC power from the track, but we wanted to power them with separate supplies. The cool thing about those decoders is that you can program random on/off, create the effect of a fluorescent light bulb burning out, strobe, etc. Lots of effects and controls that are all controllable from the same DCC controller.

@@TwoRailfans I may have to get one and see if I like it. Thanks for the tip and info.

Thank you, Susanne. Rob

Thank you, Cheers

Probably never. I am just not a very tidy person. It is only neat for those brief moments between projects. So overnight once in a while. 😂😂

Thank you, it is a grand milestone. A nice round number. Rob

Thank you...Melbourne...I was just there in April. Fabulous city. In fact, I was really impressed with Australia in general. What a great country. My layout was built a little at a time over the last 6 years. Rob

I learned planning through my engineering education and experience. You’re right, planning is not a talent or skill that comes easily to everyone. If it isn’t for you, I think getting someone else involved is a perfect solution. In fact, I would say it was a brilliant move in your part. Nothing wrong with having a qualified person do some planning for you. 👍🏻👍🏻 Rob

I had to downgrade my camera’s output in order to stream. I guess the camera just didn’t have the computational power to send 4K and manage the stream instead of recording the video. Good picture? Thank you, Rob

Thank you, Stephen.

5K has arrived. Thank you

@@FarlandHowe Well done Rob 👏👏👏👏now let’s go for the 10k 🤩👍 love to you and your beautiful family have a great day .🥳

@@whatsitaboutwithphilcraig6661 👍Thank you, Phil.

As in suddenly going off the air. Then reappearing? 😊

Yes 😂😂😂

Hi Susanne, thank you very much. All the best, Rob

I was testing a new microphone. Sorry, lesson learned. Next time I will not use this one again. Thanks, Rob

Thank you, It actually works perfectly as drawn. Here is a clip of it with a train running. ruclips.net/video/89NsV9-4WXc/видео.htmlsi=pH-9LkSpQD2cOEdV

Hi David, I think I may have an obsessive streak.. 😂😂😂. Thank you for watching and your comment, cheers, Rob

You’re welcome. I don’t know what you mean by v15-2 ?? Version 15-2?? Haha. Just keep going, you’ll solve it. Thank you, Rob

@@FarlandHowe Ah, yes sorry. V is version 15-2. Sorry about that.

I recommend the Heljan 45. I had tons of trouble with the TTS sound. Eventually I sold this unit and bought a Bachmann 40. It was worse and a really awful runner. It wouldn’t stay on the track. I unloaded it too. Now I have the Heljan Peak with ESU sound and it is a winner. Thank you, Rob

I completely agree with you on this. Adding a lead in to curves is definitely needed for a realistic look. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for watching the video . Rob

Yes, not everyone can plan well. It is a skill and discipline that is hard for some to master. I am still learning myself. Recognize jumping in unprepared will lead some people to disappointment and disillusion while admittedly others will thrive. Thank you, Rob

I will say I personally think there's a place for both, personally the layout ive planned works both of those aspects together.

@@Sigil_Firebrand Agreed!

@@Sigil_FirebrandThat would make it the best of both worlds. My Farland 2 does have a number of opportunities for switching and operating. Thanks
