Re: Sandstone & Termite
Over summer, many of the businesses on the Sandstone and Termite close for the holidays.
So the traffic has reduced till a single van was all that was required for Sunday's Goods.
Here's a quick look at the movement.
Holidays have now ended, so hopefully traffic will increase soon.

Re: Sandstone & Termite
Great set of shots, Greg. Is the soundcard triggered by a wheel cam? It's well synched.

Re: Sandstone & Termite
That's a great sounding sound card you are using, what is it?

Re: Sandstone & Termite
Thanks, I like the sound I got. It's my own circuit design. The Bachmann 4-6-0 has a wheel cam that gives 2 chuffs per revolution. I have changed it to give 4 .tom_tom_go wrote: βMon Feb 04, 2019 5:33 pm That's a great sounding sound card you are using, what is it?

Re: Sandstone & Termite
Love it Greg. The sound does remind me a lot from the days of steaming locos....The shots in the video of running behind the driver are brilliant....

Re: Sandstone & Termite
The summer holiday period is over and the industries on the SaTr have returned to work.
So there is some traffic to be moved! Here's a video of delivering logs to the Melaleuca sawmill

Re: Sandstone & Termite
That's for the comments everyone. I did wonder if it would be too boring.
Does anyone what to comment on whether some interspersed 'high level' shots would give a better idea of the shunting?

Re: Sandstone & Termite
I certainly didn't find it boring, but then as you know, shunting and train movements are my 'thing'.
Not sure if higher level shots would add anything new. However, I'm very familiar with your railway and the set up at Melaleuca, so maybe an establishing shot or two showing how all the bits fit together might be interesting for others.

Re: Sandstone & Termite
Like Rik, I didn't find it boring. Higher shots from a Drone, if that's what you are contemplating Greg, would be great I think and other members would appreciate it also maybe.

Re: Sandstone & Termite
I wasn't thinking of a drone but maybe a view from a few feet above showing the sidings layout, or even a drawing.

Re: Sandstone & Termite
The only reason I thought of a drone is , Don't you have a mate who did a video with one last year...

Re: Sandstone & Termite
You've got a good memory! I did dig out the drone videos and there is a good flyover of the Melaleuca station area. Maybe use it next video

Re: Sandstone & Termite
Finally a nice day and not too hot or wet. So 3 of us ran a few trains. Not a great day as I had many track problems after all our rain.
But here's an overview without all the problems.

Re: Sandstone & Termite
Great video Greg. Love all your locos running at speeds that seem like they should be running at. That overhang still leaves me in awe.....

Re: Sandstone & Termite
Really enjoyable video, Greg. I do like the look and sound of your #14, especially that shot of her labouring up the gradient.

Re: Sandstone & Termite
Animation
An old video of how I made a campfire scene with a man poking the fire and drinking.
Here's a latter pic with his wife and dog too.
I never did any more animations as the sound of the servos is offputting. Maybe I need an mp3 player in the tent playing Waltzing Matilda?
