Next time you make a trip to Orlando Florida to one of the theme parks; take time to schedule a visit with the Central Florida Railroad Modelers. In our 2000 sq. ft. clubhouse located near the intersection of Silver Star Road and North John Young Parkway Orlando, Florida, we operate HO scale models on 1500' of dual mainline code 83 track. Our layout has a fully operational prototypical signaling system powered by Digitrax with a custom made CTC system that is used for operational running. On the second Saturday of every month the club runs operating sessions using our custom made CTC and signaling system. The club maintains its own inventory of rolling stock for operating sessions, however, members are encouraged to bring in their own power for operating sessions. Guests and prospective members are always welcome.
Paul "Grumpy" Harris invited members of Northeast Florida Model Railroaders to run equipment and shoot videos of the detailed layout. This video doesn't do enough justice for this extremely exquisitely detailed club layout. When you visit, take time to peep inside windows of the meat packing company. Inside is finely detailed action of workers meat packing the angus beef. Look inside the main union station passenger terminal. Central Florida Railroad Modelers hand crafted a custom chandelier clearly visible from the station's massive pane windows. Inside are busy, bustling passengers rushing from train platforms to ticketing booths. Take a visit to one of the side streets and look inside the billiard parlor. Inside you'll watch pool sharks place bets and run pool tables against unsuspecting amateurs. Next door to the billiard hall you'll get to shop for brand new home appliances such as Whirl Pool and Maytag. The appliance salesman courtesy demonstrates an appliance to a married couple who just purchased their new home. This detail isn't captured with this video. We ran out of time for the day and weren't able to provide macro views of other exquisite fine detailing. This layout can only be appreciated from an in person visit. Thank you Paul "Grumpy" Harris for the personal invite and the privilege to operate on your awesome club layout. What a treat!
The camera used to create the cab ride effects and the overall video is a Sony High Definition Action Cam HDR-AS10 featuring the Carl Zeiss Tessar HD lens system.
Locomotive used was an HO scale 1/87 Athearn Genesis Santa Fe GP50 Phase II 3840 with Tsunami sound decoder.
