    I am no great video maker, but this was fun. I used a Powershot A710is from Canon Corp. in 'movie' mode.

    The scene is in the highland main above Seneca Falls Sub. A Pennsy K4s Pacific class steamer is pulling a four car heavyweight consist and a reefer at the head end up the brutal 3% grade, over the trestle just before the crest, and beyond.

    Lovely videos Crandell and Grampy!

    Filmed with a handheld Fuji still camera, and with lots of help from Windows Movie Maker here's my version of the Boston and Maine - driving by.

    Video sticks a bit the first time it's played.

    Thanks John! And here I was scrambling the past 2 hours getting my video in order, thinking Sunday (now yesterday) was the 31st. *sigh* I even told everyone not to procrastinate, and look what I go off and do myself.

    Well, now that I have a few more hours, I can go back and fine tune my video. [​IMG]

    There's some GREAT videos posted this month!
    Well, I'm using my backup camera here; so it's not the best video. But I figured that I just had to post something from the Z Scale camp. So here goes.
    It's my Espee F7 ABA's pulling reefers east throught my Truckee River Layout.
    Thanks for the fun.
