Thanks Sean! Very nice video. I like how you used another loco to film the first. I'll have to give that a try. Great layout also. What did you use for the 3D layout?

I do a ton of 3D modeling in my free time, so I used a modeling program -- AutoDesk Maya 8.5. I would like to play with some planning software this fall, after snow sets in, since I don't have the time to write off of the rules in Maya it would take to make trains follow track. Recommendations on S/W would be great.
