Various videos shot with a digital camera and a laptop computer using a web cam, primitive, but some day will progress up to an actual video camera! OK, now I have a real Video Camera that I use, recent videos are better quality and available in "High Quality".
Thank you for documenting this piece of club history! I'm currently an member of the Sacramento Modular Railroaders (joined as an high schooler as an junior member in 2019, now an full-time member!), 2009 was long, long before my time but it's fascinating nonetheless to see how things were arranged way back in the day. The club is still healthy and thriving. Some of the modules, in particular that large center yard as well as certain privately-owned ones like that Sierra summit steam service facility at 0:56 are still in operation, but it looks like for the most part the rest of the portions filmed are now nowhere to be seen-especially those two mainline girder bridges and the curving tunnel! So cool. If memory serves me correctly it was dismantled and placed into storage somewhere due to persistent electrical issues somewhere in the mid-2010s. Some of the guys in the vests I recognize are still around, but sadly quite an few folks have since left the club for other ventures/activities or have passed away. I know I'm...more than an decade late with any comment and in all probability this is gonna get glossed over but I felt like I had to offer some information about how things are fifteen years later.
I like the idea that the front wheel is not terrible. Why not add an axle where the wheels are rotating on a welding axel shaft like a go cart. It looks very cheap. Don't take the comments negativity it a cool look. Just got half way on the idea
Yep, and the lightning up here got even more intense a minute later. Had a close ground strike that knocked out some electronics at my solar building, EMP did a job on a charger and on a LCD readout I had for the battery packs. I heard the boom at the same time I saw the yellow flash and everything shook hard too.
Fuel pump need to be at 30-40 degrees I think. I bought a 200w power supply off Amazon for $30. They come in 5 kilowatts and 8 kilowatts. If you paid $97 then it's Chinese. If you paid $1500 then it's German.
