Moving coal on the Sandstone & Termite

[gregh]

I thought it was time for a video NOT in the snow.

It was a hot day here, so I spent only a short time outside taking a video. Then more time inside producing this story of a coal train moving from Melaleuca to Termite on the big rock ledge of my line.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Mikka, I haven't seen any pics from you lately.

I get a bit guilty about only taking videos on the 'rock' part of my line. I'm still experimenting with camera angle and using my keyfob camera to get pictures of the rest of the line that DON'T show the ugly fences, garden sheds etc.
The free software VirtualDub is great for editing videos, rotating and resizing them. I'm still discovering what I can do with it.

I've finished 'part 1' of the video now. It's taken ages to avoid the neighbours with chain saws and lawn mowers. Then when they stop it rains.

It shows a coal train running over the whole of my line from Sandstone to Termite, with 2 loco changes and crossings of other trains. And it has a route map.
Runs for 10 minutes but the last 3 minutes is the previously seen Part 2.
