Thank you, Richard, for posting.
My pleasure! It was a bit late though.
Richard, were you able to chat with the model group in from Thunder Bay.?
Yes I was and some footage from their layout will be in my next posting, hopefully soon.
Richard, very well done. I sure enjoy your video footage of the operations
Thank you
Great video of the lights and sounds of the CPKC Holiday Train during the daytime!
Thank you, I didn't have the luxury of chasing the train this year so took the opportunity to catch it just before 1pm.
Missed seeing you there, I went for a visit on the Friday
Went Saturday and heard you had been there. You were likely at Norm's operating on Saturday.
No, not at Norman's. He has lots of people on his list. He normally invites the employed for weekend sessions. 😀
Great video Rick
Totally awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you
Very nice road. I especially like the subtle colors you have put in the rock walls. One doesn't see that much and it looks great.
Thankyou.
Very nice ride on the Eastern Slope Railway! But, l do prefer to see more of an outdoor type of scenery with lots of trees, buildings or bodies of water etc. Well done!🚂🚊👏💯
Thank you, check out some of my updates with more trees but limited water. You might also like some of the Mountain View Model Railroad Club and Didsbury Museum videos on this channel.
Great photo angles of the layout as if you were taking them from off the property away from the right of way.
Thank you that was my intention.
Never remove tunnel sections...best parts
The tunnels repeat but look at one of my updates for complete tunnel scenes.
@@ve6rla cool! Will do didn't mean that in a mean way it's just cool to see how you get elevation and route tunnels☺
No problem.

I love the video you should do Calgary to red deer along the line.
A video or series along the Red Deer Sub is a goal of mine. I do have a few different videos taken over several years capturing action from Didsbury to Bowden. Maybe this year I will get it done.
Nice layout, what about stations?
That cab ride was done in 2017 and since then two stations have been installed one on lower deck and one on upper deck as well as an oil loading facility. I hope to do another cab ride or combo shoot later this year.
@@ve6rla i look forward to the update, nice experience. I have a Routemaster bus and love filming from the cab.
Hi I love trains so much
Thankyou, trains run again Saturday July 17th from 10 to 4
Very enjoyable to watch, especially without music.
Thanks Robert, I try to keep the music to openings and credits and let the trains do the talking.
Nice video 👍 like the out door layout..
Thanks the guys have worked long hours getting things ready for museum reopening
Diesel dave like's the new video today.
Looks great,great job.
Nice layout
Thank you the club has worked hard over the years.
Nice run byes.. I need to get my N Scale Maersk trains out and give them a run.. Awesome to see the Rapido RDC running.. thanks for sharing.. Dave
Thanks for the kind words. I have been lax in doing videos lately. I ordered the buy 4 get one free and donated this unit to the club. Rick
Nice ride, thanks. There's some very good civil engineering here and I see what you mean about lots left to do. Are you retired ? What a great hobby we have - as you demonstrate very well
Thank you Martin for the kind words. Yes I am retired however this layout was started in 2006 well before I retired. I completely agree this is an amazing hobby.
Is this the Wye you were talking about maybe making a module after? Nice video
Yes it is.
Another great video keep up the good modeling and posting for us to enjoy.
Layout looking good,cant wait to get back and run trains again keep up the great work.
Hi Richard! :) You look so pleased. :)
well done the Layout is progressing beautifully.
Thankyou
@@ve6rla I feel sorry for those old single sheath box cars being yanked around by that big horse power. make sure the hogger treats them with kit gloves. nice power and rolling stock.
Great looking layout Richard - love the snow shed! Really liked the low-angle shots, especially coming through the rock cut - well done! Just found your channel - very nice work. Best, John
Thankyou John, I enjoy the challenge of capturing my creativity.
Newly subbed, nice layout. Keep up the great work.
Thankyou I enjoy it.
Great looking video.
Looking Good Rick -Ryan
Very nicely modeled that sections following must be a hard act to follow. The baggage car full of spirits and all blinds pulled due to the natural sunlight being to hard on the eyes. Nice train and layout.
Thankyou club members have worked hard to make it enjoyable for visitors to the Didsbury Museum
Good to see you again Rick, Thanks for Coming Out
My pleasure, enjoyed making the video.
Once again very nice video footage. Thank you for sharing.

Any Video coming out of the Show in Carstairs?
Yes, I will have one soon.
The video is now available.
I will check back with you when its finished.
That may be some time coming but there will be more updates as development continues.
Hopefully Supertrain 2020.
Yes I live in Schreiber 2 hours north east of Thunder Bay I try make Supertrain every few years hopefully I can make it again next year.
I have been through Schreiber several times but as you can imagine many years ago. Look forward to the opportunity to meet.
Richard very nice video coverage of the 2019 Calgary SUPERTRAIN enjoyed the video and the show was good as always.
Thank you I tried to get as much coverage while still working Forth Junction and the club's displays. Looking forward to next years offerings.
One year I would like to meet up with you we may have passed each other at the 2014 CARM convention in Thunder Bay.
@@williamneedham3150 we certainly could have I grew up in Thunder Bay and enjoyed the CARM convention very much. I have lived in Alberta for 40+ years now and am an hour north of Calgary. If you are in Alberta the club puts on its own show in Carstairs May 25,26 at the curling rink.
And the extra side truss bridge to accommodate a curve, the railroad would use several deck bridges end to end instead.
.wide.
Good track work. Somebody must own a straight edge. When you making an updated video?
And personally I don't need to see the inside of tunnels.
Hi Robert, thanks for the complement. I posted an update about 5 months ago called eastern slopes railway update and it does have more tunnel time. I plan on another one in the spring (I hope) after some club members have a chance at an operating session.
Great Video keep up the great work my friend
Thanks the young man operating the train made it easy to get continuity.
