Very nice video. I assume you filmed this in your backyard. Plenty of space you have.

yes most of this was filmed in my backyard I thought some trains would look really cool going across those rocks at the beginning of the video so I decided to film part of it right there.

I hear ya. The salt air from the ocean down here destroys my track I keep in the garage. I have to do a thorough cleaning every time I film!

That was fun watching the trains wind their way over the natural undulations of the ground.

All the track planning guides worry about smooth transitions while disparaging "S" curves. I prefer your approach to having fun!

yeah I was using all the track left over for my layout but I've used all of my straight tracks on my layout so I had to use lots of s curves they can be troublesome but they're also really fun.
