Railroads at Work: Dutch Maid to the Rescue

LC & DR, thank you for catching the visual pun, exactly what I was trying to express: even the
circus wagon had to be shunted off to the side to make way for the Jello. I will look about for
that Glenn Miller tune. There is a bubble gum pop song relating to Jello, or some such, but the
trick is to find a catchy tune that isn't much more than 2 1/2 to 3 minutes long. Anymore than
that the audience tends to go numb, can't say I blame them, either. The bubble gum song is
roughly a minute long, which is too short for editing. Actually filming can go for hours of
pleasant time, with it reduced to the aforementioned few minutes too make a whimsical short
that attempts to be clear, funny, and not overly boring.

This is a remix of an earlier video, 7 minutes, down to 2 minutes 30 seconds. The cost of these
trains would probably be cheaper than an order of fish and chips.

To be very honest, I sometimes think about bagging all the American stuff so I can do more with the OO, which
I sincerely find more interesting. This vintage American Tyco stuff started as a whim, and stuff was available for
pennies and more stuff was heaped on me as gifts, it rather overtook what I intended it to start out with.

Great sequence, I particularly like the backing track, Wipe Out by the Surfaris which was the second record I ever bought!

Although, apart from an HO Revell kit for a Big Boy, which I haven't made yet, and a made but damaged Kitmaster 'General' 4-4-0 (it has lost its smokestack, spare anyone?) I don't have any proper US outline stuff. I do have Triang Transcontinental stuff but I tend to think of this as Canadian / Australian, rather than US.

Everything about railways Stateside seem so different to the UK railways.
