model train

This was shot at the model trains Museum at Balboa Park in San Diego. I had not seen many model train layouts and certainly never filmed any, but I had to try and capture some of what they had there. They have several large and detailed layouts and I highly recommend the museum to anyone who loves trains.

    @jordanturner97: It’s a wooden scratchbuilt model of Carriso Gorge trestle which is still there a bit east of San Diego on the old S.D. Arizona Eastern (S.P.)

    @Crintingnut Thanks. I never videoed model trains before and my 80 year old mother was waiting for me so I was kind of rushing around, in a hurry trying to find vantage points and yes, competing with kids for those places. I wish I had had more time to set up the tripod, etc. It was a weekend, very busy. : )

    Great scenery and well video’d. But it reinforces the case for clubs and museums to have a slot for photo sessions where serious viewers don’t have the distraction of irrelevant background noise. Sure, encourage the kids but ….

Model Trains

Railway modelling UK, Australia, Ireland and Canada or model railroading US and Canada is a hobby in which rail transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale. The scale models include locomotives, rolling stock, streetcars, tracks, signalling, and roads, buildings, vehicles, model figures, lights, and features such as streams, hills and canyons.The earliest model railways were the 'carpet railways' in the 1840s. Electric trains appeared around the turn of the 20th century. But these were crude likenesses. Model trains today are more realistic.
