I don't normally watch the videos that people post, but I'd love to see oneof this route. I second the motion!

 

[scratchy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flK6AREJ6vo hows that for starters? Only had an hour to edit and didnt film any of the east slope... In the mood to do more now thou! Music or no music? I'll do one dedicated to just the horseshoe and things intime

Like it if you like it? Please give me feedback and ideas for future videos too

 

[slabay]

Looks great, Scratchy! (View #4) Love the detail! It actually makes me jealous that it looks this good with that good of a framerate to run Trainz and record the video at the same time. I can't get Trainz to look that good running by itself!

Turn it up full, get yelled at to turn it down. How it's done fellas :hehe:
