shortliner Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 http://jean-louis.simonet.perso.neuf.fr/Mrsrr_us.htm We have seen this layout before a good while back. but this is a completely new video - and I defy anyone who isn't deaf NOT to tap their feet to the superb boogie-woogie piano soundtrack! Found via a link that Gene had posted on the MTI forum - thanks, mate - Love it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gwinnett Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Great location for a freelance system - if you updated it to the modern era you could have the cast of American Pie (and various substandard sequels) lounging around! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortliner Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 ...and just in case you like that sort of music - you might like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJKb1BoQ6Ts&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=AVGxdCwVVULXdzm2BvNv8FO4uEg2Wn4TI8 ....and I know where that exterior is in the open/closing scene with the track and the curved wall - and I can't remember the name of the area - there is even a model of it!

brossard Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Beautifully done! However, the movie was ruined by the hokey music - couldn't even watch it. Diesel locos shunting are music to my ears. So there, I am defying you. Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/unquote] Memory returns - it is in Los Angeles in the area known as "The Rathole" or "The Patch" where the track curved between two buildings and there was no clearance either side of loco or wagons - in fact there is a photo of it on the left-hand side of the first link! http://www.bobsgarde...F_ThePatch.html http://www.patchrail...Patch_Home.html http://www.dpdproduc...ry_rathole.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
