Thanks for the very positive feedback! As I've said before, you guys inspire me to greatness!
New layout video is now up - I probably ran the locomotives at a higher speed than optimal, but that also means the video is shorter. The changes since the last vid were the scenic additions at Mud Run and under the RR bridge at White Haven. However, because of the fixed angle of the camera, I really didn't get great shots of the scenery in those locations. Ce la vie!
I also ran into a quirk in my web host's policies. I usually post these videos in a dedicated page on the site. When I went to replace the old video (by uploading the new one from my computer), the site indicated that I'd used "2.4 GB of the allowed 500 MB". Were they like drug dealers giving me free crack to hook me??? Space claim could be upped if I upgrade.... I currently am a freeloader, so the $37/month upcharge was going to mean my freeloading days were over. Went to bed thinking about uploading the video to YouTube or some other video-hosting site, pondering the expense associated with the upgrade, pondering starting all over with a new site, etc., etc. Before slipping into unconsciousness I then had a thought.... Almost all of my recent changes (including a lot of pictures) to the website had been through a blog entry, and I never got any nasty space claim comments or demands to pay in blood by publishing a blog entry - maybe I'd found a loophole? After waking up, I went for broke - started a new blog entry and inserted the new video (via computer upload).... NO PROBLEM!

As I pointed out in the intro in the blog, there are two more short areas between backdrop and track to scenic - and those will be my next tackle. One's relatively simple (finishing the area around the LVRR maintenance shed near White Haven), the other will be potentially huge - I'm considering simulating a small section of the Jeddo coal breaker outside of the town of Hazleton to hide the entry/exit to the storage level. The thing is an enormous beast, and in 1976 would have been in rough shape (just like the rest of Hazleton). I'm pretty sure it's going to be a kitbash paper structure with some foam board - could be an adventure worth capturing.
