The Big Cab Ride (Eastbound) at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum (revised)

Ride in the locomotive cab as we travel from Klamath Falls to Lakeview on the Oregon, California and Eastern Railway. Filmed at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum in Greeley, Colorado.
This is a revised edit of an earlier video of exactly the same name. In this revision I attempted to make the color corrections I should have made in the original version. The original footage was shot using the camera's auto color balance. As the camera traveled through the layout, the auto color balance was frequently befuddled by the changing scenes and changing lighting conditions. I think this version is better. I hope you think so too.
The museum website has extensive information about the layout, museum location, visiting Greeley, opening hours, and shopping opportunities in the museum gift shop. cmrm.org

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

Excellent ride & easily one of the very best layouts on youtube imo.

[@barrysimmons5489]

Nice ride thank you. 28000 trees oh, my goodness it's a awful lot of raking in the fall.

[@tmotorman]

Awesome Bill ! Luv the mountain scenes and bridge crossings....and the tunnel motors !!

[@robertmcdonnold3038]

Wow. Thanks for sharing your layout with us. Obviously a lot of time, thought and energy went into this video. I especially liked the tour at the beginning and the end. The little map inserts through out the video were an excellent touch. Good job. I look forward to more of your work.

Thanks Robert. There are more CMRM layout videos at kzbin.info/aero/PLCiFPrus_jMrL3c9K5oPPXSAZCixTVRdL

Wonderful rail movie !!! Excellent

[@TheOriginalBadger]

Absolutely awesome as usual, Bill.

[@J3scribe]

That was epic.

[@daniellucas6573]

Loved every minute of this! Quality high end model locomotives of mine would get a decent workout on this layout!

[@trainknut]

I only realized half way through that this isn't actually a mix of steam era and later equipment, but all(most*) of the locomotives shown are appropriate for a late 60s/early 70s session... Sometimes I forget that Black Widow F units and Geeps did serve alongside 2nd gen diesels like GP40s for a brief time. *Tunnel motors are a bit of a stretch, but not entirely out of the realms of possibility

[@nickrogers4915]

What a layout literally museum quality! 🤣

[@cprtrain]

WOW! World Class! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Can we see a return trip over the railroad?

[@billr991]

Thanks cprtrain . You can view an earlier version of the westbound trip at kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3iQiIKCm8qkhrc . I should have a revised, improved westbound trip upload finished in a few weeks. Subscribe if you want to be notified.

You install cameras in the models

Hello, how do you keep your rails so shiney? Which method,please? Retired Aussie in Peru.

[@billr991]

Thanks Elena for your interest and your question. Since it's not my layout, they're not my rails. I am a CMRM volunteer that shoots and edits the videos. Other volunteers do the layout maintenance. Consequently, I don't know as much about the layout maintenance as I probably should. I think they use track cleaning cars that run a pad soaked with solvent along the rails.

Where can one get ahold of the camera you used

[@billr991]

Google "Sony FDR-X3000". Happy shopping.
