Plenty of room under the layout... ;-) Shame about the racket above.

Partially due to the Fats Waller cover no doubt but I get the Mr. Rogers reference. There is something fascinating about things in motion.

I'm not into G-Scale myself so don't have first hand experience. Since HO is the most popular it would make sense that most of the development takes place in that scale. That shouldn't make any difference for sound equipment. One size fits all. Realistically, the large scale "should" have better sound. As far as detail goes, how deep are your pockets? Remember those magnificent old brass steam engines from years ago? Plastic technologies, like used in HO, could produce phenomenally detailed engines and rolling stock in G but the tooling costs would be equally phenomenal - made worse by the proliferation of prototypes. G-scalers are lucky to get a few basic examples, painted to look vaguely like the real thing. Another thought, G stands for Garden. Think about it... Who cares what something looks or sounds like when it's rolling through the roses? Artists can explain about viewing distance. Ever look at a Monet? Pointillism up close is crap. From a distance? Incredible!

Thanks Chris. That's Peter Brown playing. He's a friend and professional musician down by Ottawa. I'll include a credit in the description shortly.

Awesome channel great video keep them up make sure you like and subscribe thank you for your support

@@markofthenorth8918 Thanks Mark - somewhere in the palm I gather. ;-)

Thanks! It's actually not quite finished. Needs a description. Was waiting for Hans to come up with a name for the railway. I suggested "The Eclectic Central". Something of an oxymoron - nothing personal. ;-)

The funny thing is how it was unplanned. We just showed up with a camera and cell phone and freelanced it. At this moment Hans hasn't even seen it.

Be patient. :)

Might be a long wait! Another 35 years? ;-)

Yeah. We've chatted in the past Sparky. I recognize your "name". I've gone on the Doubleheaders Tour quite a few times over the years. The club met here a few days ago so I put this slideshow together to entertain them when the meeting was over.

And old music eh? :-)

9.9 Evinrude. It is a young persons toy! Not too sure about keeping young but it is incredibly exhausting driving it around the lake. Another reason to keep active. Did you build the float plane? Flying in the UP I'm assuming. (Used to live in the Soo.)

Ha! Thanks Maureen. Appreciate the feedback. The next one "should" be better!

Thanks Dear! Maybe next time I'll be able to make it over your way.

Could be worse. Was considering "Exposing Myself On UK Rail"... ;-)

I feel pretty fortunate having been there. We were camping at Springdale, had an extra day and saw the sign to the ferry. Just drove down on a lark, arriving as the ferry came in. What luck! Did you grow up on the island? I'm in Cambridge, Ontario.

989, I'd say Michigan Palm but the accent sounds more Antigonish... hmmm...

Thanks! If you have any suggestions, don't be shy next time we're chatting.

Thanks Maureen. It was a great day in an amazing Summer.

That was 07-16 according to EXIF. ;-)

Yeah! I'm not even too sure what they're called. Articulated floats? Real "guy-stuff". ;-)

@@SSandA2 there is a company in Ayr Equipment Express that does heavy moves too. they have a wide selection of trucks and BIG forklifts, and in recent years they use these trailers for 9/10 of their jobs. They have the drivable motorized kind too that do lateral expansion, they get very long

I understood the city budgeted $650k for the move.That cost likely included a lot of planning and preparation work at both ends.

Thanks Monika! It was a fun way to spend the Summer, exploring places and meeting some great folks.

Hi Craig. Did we "talk" a while back? I remember someone contacted me (maybe in 2015?) after I posted this video. For some reason I think it was Brian but I've been wrong before. Whoever it was he said he was in Ontario - Muskoka or Huntsville possibly. That would be great if you guys got together. Nostalgia eh? Where are you now? I'm in Southern Ontario, hence Cambridge Slideshows, but spend much of my Summers in the Maritimes. Scott

BTW, here's where I used the songs from the CD: th-cam.com/video/E2NVKxvwZRc/w-d-xo.html

Don't worry! I couldn't forget you. I even remember your name because (I think) it's the same as a Japanese toy manufacturer. Sorry I was so worn out but I enjoyed your stories anyway. Did you see the "Mirai in Canada" slideshow?

You're welcome Gary!

That's Guelph based folk singer Tannis Slimmon singing about her bicycle. Tannis also sings with Katherine Wheatley and Jude Vadala as Boreal. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for the info, grabbed a copy from CDBaby.

I don't know Jude but Katherine and Tannis will be singing at The River Run Centre in Guelph on December 1st as Boreal. They put on a great show. I met Katherine years ago at a folk festival in Toronto. Somewhere on my TH-cam Channel (SSandA2) there are early slideshows of a couple of their weekend songwriter workshops. I can't carry a tune in a bucket but it was a wonderful experience anyway.

Thanks! There seems to be a problem with it playing from the start. I may have to upload it again. Likely a problem with Facebook... surprise! BTW Alpenglow, you can cover a lot more ground on a bicycle... ;-)

SSandA2 That's for sure! By the way, I did a number on my shins/ankles in the last week of my Bruce Trail thru hike. They were extremely sore and swollen. Anyway, no pain, no rain, no Maine...oops...this year I should say no Tobermory:-)

At least it's not PA - where hiking boots...

SSandA2 Maybe I should! The 71 km hike in one day from Walters Falls to Owen Sound probably didn't help either! 😀

Just a minute here... now where did I leave my world's smallest violin? ;-)

Thanks. Yes and those shirts made a great subject. You guys (and gals?) were in some of my favorite shots. Don't expect to be on the poster though. ;-)

P.S. If there are any photos you particularly like send me an email and I can send a few files in August. Just give me the time and a brief description. Use scottsneddon@outlook.com
