2011: 4 uploads from Burgundy



And so, more by accident than by design, the next uploads would be Volumes 2 & 3 of the Longer Trains series, a year on from Volume 1, but still in Burgundy. Both would use the same layout, made of 4 independent loops, and without any incline, because I had serious doubts about the ability of some of the trains to pull more than 2 or 3 trucks up any sort of incline. Each loop was big enough to accommodate 2 trains though.




Here is Volume 3, which opens with a 2'50 continuous sequence:


I also uploaded 2 shorter clips, each featuring only one train: one was with Neville, pulling 7 tankers, and the other one with the Furano Express. At the time I hadn't been able to find any youtube clips featuring that particular train, although I have seen it cropping up since, usually as one of several trains in a clip.

I made the prediction that there would be no more Longer Trains instalments from Burgundy, and so far it has been borne out...
