Creator's Key Takeaways

I attached a GoPro onto Thomas's friend Percy and placed Percy on the tracks in front of Thomas

It took some practice for Maddox to figure out how to keep the two trains traveling together at the same speed

I just did a test run and hoped for the best but that's a risky strategy that can lead to a crash or two which it did

I'm Jim's M I'm crazy about trains and cruise ships that's pretty much what my youtube channel is all about these days

Creator's Tips & Advice

Practice controlling multiple trains at the same speed and spacing for good video shots
Test run your layout and check clearances to avoid crashes and derailments

YouTube Video Description

Here's a look at a few aspects of my previous video with my neighbor, Maddox, my Amtrak passenger train, and Thomas The Tank Engine. You can see that video here: https://youtu.be/LuwfLiNNUBg I let you in on a few secrets about that last video... like the fact that Thomas' friend, Percy, got to be the camera train for the closeup shots of Thomas. I also show you a few things that normally would have hit the cutting room floor... crash scenes during the testing phase of my new train layout. I end the video with what I hope is a nice little treat for fans of steam trains... one of the most beautiful steam whistles I've ever heard. It's from a neat little steam train that runs on the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. Enjoy the sound!
