NS Light Power Departs - Modern NS Railroading in HO Scale

Welcome back to the the Asheville District! After a busy spring, I've finally found some time to get back to filming and regular videos. Here's a quick clip taken from the project layout with custom layout lighting / ambient sounds and a few Custom NS locomotives departing the siding at Old Fort. More operation, how-to, and layout tour videos to come!

Absolutely fantastic lighting in this scene, and the ones installed on that Dash-8 model are a cherry on top. This layout is going to be one of those outstanding ones.

Thanks Jimmy! Really appreciate it. - Josh

[@charliealpha11f3b2]

Don't be afraid to add some glossy effects to the ground, somewhere between a satin and gloss...when the temperature and dewpoint are that close together, there is going to be visible moisture on the ground as well. Lighting looks great!

[@nsmodeler24]

That's definitely the plan! Hoping to add a high gloss to all of the road and station surfaces, along with building roofs, and multiple puddles / water effects around the layout. Will definitely keep y'all updated as we make progress. - Josh

Nice video my friend ...thanks for sharing...MLTBC

[@user-ms1gf6ve7m]

Everything is fantastic, especially the modelling and video skills, but the number 1 favorite of mine is the speed the locomotives move feels weighty and real.

Also great video, I'm glad to see this series is back :)

[@oldgoat142]

Honestly, these videos are so well done that even before they start, it gets an instant like and thumbs-up. There's only a very small handful of content creators worth that. Love the fog-like setting which has always been my favorite type of shot no matter the medium. Well done once again.

[@nsmodeler24]

Thanks for the kind words! - Josh

[@bhproductions1061]

Is it bad I do that as well

[@oldgoat142]

@@bhproductions1061 Nope. Shows you really appreciate quality content, and that you have a lot of trust in the creator to provide that content.

[@planebois]

Where the hell have you been?

[@MP-16productions]

Nice modles

[@Buchananfarms]

Awesome video Josh! It’s impressive to see how far you’ve come along since the very beginning. How were you able to create the early morning fog effects?

[@AmericanPatriot191]

great video keep up the great work

[@centraliowarailproductions2810]

Nice video!

[@michaellehman4944]

I love watching your videos, you've given me a lot of inspiration and motivation for my layout! How'd you get the headlight of the trailing unit to stay on?

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Great looking lighting and the fog in the hills sets the mood. Well done! -grant

[@nascargavin8188]

Hi

[@CraigLYoung]

You know, that looks realistic.

[@valchavez9163]

WOW.....Josh....it's getting better and better....Nice....I like foggy scene.....Oh....the loco looks good too......Keep it up.....

[@conrailfan6277]

What up Josh!! I thought of you the
other day when I saw a cool video
of a NS geometry car, if you get a
chance go to V12 productions and
check out his video " The Brick", man
that kitbash is right up your alley and
would be awesome on your layout!!!

[@sukhdeepubhi4062]

Beautiful job! I Like the light haze in the air just like you would find in the smoky mountains. Would be amazing to see the layout in real life in Asheville where you are. Visiting from Elmhurst

[@ariesarethebest271]

Very nice. Only one complaint about this. The video was way too short. XD

[@_slashes]

Say, how much do you think your model is worth, or how much you've spent on it?

[@CSXEK]

I just got my 1st NS Dash-8 model today it’s a c-40 dash 8

[@petersampson4635]

I hated this video because it was not long enough! (That's all)👍😁👋

[@Catawbaindustrialspur]

Do you use custom sound files for your engines? The small sound details I notice in real engines don’t always make it to the models, but yours incorporates all of them

[@CRP7609]

Amazing just saw a NS train holding out for a intermodal

[@nsmodeler24]

Thanks!

[@clearlycaribbeanreb7176]

That’s why they call them the Blue Ridge Mountains!

[@DimasWahyuR]

What a realistic look like, great 👌🏻👌🏻

[@conductorluke]

the detector man. I hear that daily. Theres one up in Linwood that goes "Detector out" and i dont know why but i find it so amusing lol Its the only one ive heard that does it

[@AtTheCrossingProductions]

Love the video! That being said, “modern” is a bold description when you’re using a unit that hasn’t been on NS for several years 😅

[@nsmodeler24]

We use the term loosley. haha Thanks!

[@Longshadowsmodeltrees]

Real nice lighting. Bob

[@switchtowerhobbies383]
