Auto World T-jet Slot Cars Race around Milwaukee Road

Model Railroad & Slot Car HO Racing Layout: Slot Cars in video: Chevrolet El Camino Auto World Thunderjet vs. Willys Auto World Thunderjet. HO Scale Trains in video: Milwaukee Road EMD E8A diesel locomotive engines (Lifelike Proto) and eight Milwaukee Road passenger cars (Walthers). Featuring Milwaukee Road as it is the favorite railroad on this layout. These two slot cars are Auto World Deluxe Pit kits that had to be painted and assembled. The assembly came out well, the self-painting was not that great. The slot cars worked well with no glitches noted so far and were fun to run around the track, they stayed on the track very well going quite fast in speed on the straightaway tracks. The cars had nice range of speeds on the Parma controllers, so they could be slow through the curves and also sprint on straightaways. The T-Jets are not a wide as the other slot cars. We do more like "road rally" than race, like the rally races that go the speed limit and winning is to stay on road, not go off and hit the wall or worse, go on the floor. Slot Car Track layout has been engineered to keep cars rolling. Track sections have jumper soldered wiring. Also feed wires go to several of these jumper wires. Video is not at all in order or continuous, with only one camera on tripod that was moved around to various view angles during the race and the clips were edited and intermingled. Onboard train videos from GoPro Hero on a flat car. Also 4X8 blue stryofoam 1/2 inch sheets are moved around to screen out basement stuff especially during on board train video. Various lights were moved around as well. Post production also involves masking, screening, and framing. That has been my intention to make videos featuring the trains, slot cars scenery and structures without distractions, such as light fixtures, ceiling, windows, furnace, water heater, basement stuff and giant people and fingers appearing in videos.
