On Board the 4051 engine on the Highback mountain train

Very nice, but I got motion sick watching it!

you added a longer curve George!!! Nice!!

Yeap its a much smoother turn now. At the downhill i have to slow the trains down if they have wagons in the bvack otherwise at max speed they fell off the track h=just before the LGB bridge. I wil be taking some noight pictures also tonite or tomorrow !!

George, do you want to have more switch tracks with sidings & passing loops, e.g. for shunting (now it's a very big »oval« with 2 sidings/1 railway station, right?)?

Absolutely, obe think for sure i need to put a decceleration switch at the downslope section. can you post me a link as to what switch/ LGB part number i need for this ??

Here is a video of the 4051 train along the Highback mountain line ( at some point my feet can be seen near the train, aw well ...  )  but the camera is not on the train this time !

Well, that's when you're glad you aren't wearing tweety bird slippers.

Nice video, it give a good view of the layout, seeing it from that angle.

It's much better seeing the layout like that as you can see more clearly how it curves and what "countryside" it goes through.
