PLAYING trains on the Sandstone & Termite

[gregh]

Usually I attempt to excludes non railway items like fences, people,sheds and garbage bins from my
videos. This one is the exception.
Last wednesday, 2 mates were coming over and my daughter and grandkids from US were here. I agreed to
let the kids get out ALL the buildings, people, station `furniture` and cars on condition they help me
put them away (which they did).
With 5 people operating trains it was impossible to get any good videos so I just `gave up` and gave the
camera to my daughter and said take it all.

So this is just a family fun day video playing trains - 4 hours compressed into 7 mins.
If you can`t stand to watch it all, starting at 30sec, Jenny just panned 360 degress around the yard
for an overview.

IT WAS GREAT FUN.

some still snippets:

Keith`s Climax passes the well populated Lilyvale main street


more main street


a quiet scene at melaleuca with no trains!




The railmotor rests in Sandstone goods shed???



It`s always fun when 2 operators double-head, especially when one driver is 7 years old

Really great to see long shots of the trains in their setting. Gives a good feel for how the railways sits in the garden. I'm wishing I now included a few more routes on my railway to permit multiple running.

.... now where's that pencil?

Excellent!
There is not enough of 'just playing trains', life is too short to be serious all the time..

Magic day indeed. Good to see the overall views and get a feel for how it all fit in
