Описание: Over the past while I have had the pleasure and honour of being given access to some large HO scale model railways. The most notable way of seeing these has been with a "cab ride". The camera is taken aboard the layout and proceeds to document trackage with an engineers view. I thought I should do a modest compendium of 3 such train rides, so here it is.

First up is a private layout I visited awhile back. It has table to ceiling mountains and an avid modeller as an owner. This is the Thunder Mountain and Northern.

Second along is a club layout that has been presented at numerous model shows and always receives high marks from attendees. This is the Victoria Model Railway Club, which has an extensive, open yard and a highly-scenicked section.

The last presented here is from the 6th Annual BC Free-mo Meet held in Chilliwack, BC. This is a collection of modules strung together into an extensive and varied layout of almost 400 feet. They could make this into a quite different layout, next time, simply by re-ordering all the same modules. The cab ride covers many scale miles. http://coldslapfreemo.org/home.htm

My thanks to all those who have allowed me onto their railways, and to the engineers of the trains.

N.B.The photographer and cameras did not encroach on the line of the right-of-way in taking this video except where specific permission was obtained from the property owner. It is dangerous, foolhardy (and illegal) to enter on railway rights-of-way especially where you are 87 times bigger than the surroundings. You could do a great deal of damage. Just sayin' ...
