MTH Railking Norfolk+Western J Class and Southern Pacific GS4

Been trying to work on different video techniques. I would like to build some sort of a 'tracking rig' which would allow me to move the camera around and follow the trains without so much shake. Some kind of a counter-weight system should help, but it cant be too bulky. This video, and the others I posted recently, were about trying different camera angles, and cuts of multiple shots to make a longer video. It's not that great, nor what I would ultimately like to be able to produce but it was fun to try.

Have to say, I'm really happy that MTH updated the detail and dimensions from the old GS4 set they made a decade a go. The new one shocked me when I saw it at the hobby store, I thought it was an $800+ Premier line locomotive (was $380). With a new sound board for the old, pudgy and non-prototypical GS4 I have now going for around $300, I think I'll get the new version and relegate the old one to the mantle.

Still a great video. Nothing like watching a passenger train run by. I have that same N&W engine and wish I had one like the SP.

[@newriverproductions12]

Fabulous smoke, locomotives, and sound!

[@jasonhazell2163]

Incredible and super trains and amazing and fantastic layout WOW

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

This is what O scale is best for, carpet railroads! I did tons of these with my old Lionel set as a kid. Great video!

I love your suspension bridge!

[@lailasalas]

I agree with the suggestion here given. The camera on flat car gives us the the view like we wer engineers at the throttle. I like the trains here illustrated SP DAYLIGHT and NW POWHATTAN ARROW.

[@DavidJohnson-kz5ut]

Just purchase the MTH gs4 set today and l must say it is a Very Very nice Passenger Set 😘

[@oldnslow99]

When I was doing video shoots in confined areas where a tripod was not practical, I would use a fine chain attached to a tripod socket screw. It would dangle to the floor and I would step on it and pull up. you get smoother pans than handhold.

[@MichaelGsandup]

Very nice I like both of them

Being that your trains are on the floor, maybe try running some pieces of dummy track along side the main line and just put a flatcar on it with your camera on the flatcar, then just push the flatcar by hand, should make for a smooth shot, maybe put a rubberband around the camera and flatcar so the camera does not rock back and forth. Cool video's, keep them coming!

[@tyfude]

Nice bridge!!!

[@robertmackenzie3722]

Really great smoking steam locomotives!

[@lavettelee9999]

I want more train videos. Those are really expensive

[@weiszjl]

I am not sure of the model number but you can find it on the MTH website. The cars were purchased separately from the engine. But they came as a four pack.

[@csmithbk718]

impresive engines!

[@christopherorourke6362]

The two very best looking 4-8-4 steam engines, the streamlined J class built by the Norfolk & Western railroad for their passenger trains that ran I. The 1950's and the GS-4 Lima built 4-8-4 Daylight that ran from the mid 1930 up to 1958 when all steam was gone from the Southern Pacific railroad.

[@escape150]

Are those engines Railking or Premier. They both look really great

[@aidenguzman1583]

The train at the beginning I have

[@ericcalhoun9160]

What if SP 4449 was scrapped?

[@mariacristinareyes]

Itl probably get saved sincw its known as the most beautiful engine if im correct

[@jackburton4861]

Then it would no longer exist

[@kennyandsarahwood6262]

Awsome

[@seanchaney5255]

Which would you recommend between the norfolk and the pacific? I'm thinking about getting the norfolk next weekend.

[@DINESHGADA]

[@jeffdemition2308]

why does your 4449 has a small skyline casing and it dosent have a full weathered cab

[@keithsmith8971]

Nice layout,, what kind of track do you have. My son and I right now are forced to put up and remove the track alot because of no room. We use Real Trax which is good track but the connections it uses is not made to be temporary,,, just wondering if the track connections you use could handle building and removing over and over. thanks

[@brockmorgan75]

What type of smoke fluid do you use???

[@TrongNguyen-mz7op]

Where did you buy the Train

[@BigSweaty106]

cool

[@jemotorsports00e]

Did the sp come in a set?

[@NWGuyNWchallenger]

Did could do a Double Header

[@blakebergersen296]

What are the dimensions

[@brockmorgan75]

Where did you get that track from?????

[@eal8645]

There are 113 dislikes! What the hell?

[@nigelrichardson4327]

This is TORTURE to my brother an I cuz these are our FAVORITE ENGINES 😫

[@mausisbestwaifu8376]

I think 611 is better

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

4449 is better

[@blakebergersen296]

how did you make that bridge?

[@blakebergersen296]

and what smoke fluid do u use

[@weiszjl]

It is just pine with string as the support wires. But the support wires are just for show. The bridge stands on its own.

[@weiszjl]

megasteam

[@Buynot]

+weiszjl where did you get those sets amd what type of track is that?

[@blakebergersen296]

the track is mth solid rail

[@alpteknbaser7773]

🇺🇸🎾✌️💪👏😊👍🇬🇧

[@hackenbeckproductions2683]

What is the curgve radius on these locomotives?

[@brendannelson525]

RyanTheTankEngine 1014 0 -31 all railking and railking imperial locomotives are made to run on this curve type or a similar curve

[@hackenbeckproductions2683]

I was just wondering because me and my father own a Williams Daylight and Norfolk and Western J-class steam locos.
