On this page you will find pictures with "special effects" that I have been experimenting with, as well as some movies. I hope you enjoy them....
The flowing river in the picture to the left and the rain in the photo on the right were created with special animation software.
The photos below will change from a daylight scene to a night scene as you move over them with your mouse.
Below are some movie clips I shoot on the layout, showing some of the trains "in action". :-)
To prevent bandwidth issues, the videos are posted on Youtube and linked back to this website. I will add more videos and effects in the future, so check this site for updates....
The first video shows a German class 103 electric express loco with express train passing under the viaduct.
In this video you can see a German class 86 steam loco with sound decoder as it leaves the station and starts the descend to the valley.

This film shows an overview of my whole layout and a cab ride over the branch line at the end :-)
This video shows one day in the life of a little steam locomotive. From the first chores in the morning, (picking up a car at the brewery) to the end of the day when coal and water have to be restored.
