Jon Grant 4472 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've managed to shoot some new video footage for Sweethome Alabama. In this first video, a CSX U18B (detailled Intermountain with factory-fitted sound) passes through Sweethome with a short train. The FDL-8 engine sound is very distinctive I'm now working on a video of some run-throughs Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Parkinson Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Really nice video Jon. Is the bridge in the image a kit or scratchbuilt? Also do you know which venues you may be exhibiting SA at this year? Keep up the great work, gives us lesser mortals something to inspire to!!!! Regards, Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Andy The bridge was scratchbuilt from photos of an L&N minor road crossing in Alabama. I skewed it more than the original to fit along the backscene. SWA will be at Nottingham in March, Middlesborough in May, Cardiff in October and Hull in November (so far) Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigZ Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nicely nicely done. Please come to America and scenic my layout whenever I get it built U18s were unique sounding engines...the eight cylinder FDL sounded more like a slightly higher pitched Baldwin than anything else. Decent video of one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU4v5_waRdU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
