In time,like everything else, the price of Hi-def equipment will be affordable to just about anyone.

I could not agree with Yank more. I run the gennies everday and the rebuilds are terrible. That dont load worth a dam and on this particular move I make in GCT in electric mode, I start to move and the power drops and then catches again. I have a regular genny, and its never an issue.Go figure

In time prices will come down-Hd is worth every penny. As far as the format war goes, from what I understand, Blu-ray has one the war.

Well thats funny, I had just brought 2 high def camcorders-the canon vixia hv30 and the sony Hc-7. Both are taped based camcorders. I shot at night with canon at night shooting high speed commuter trains and it did suprisingly well.

What you saw was m-4 triplets tide on to a pair of M-2's. The 8900's are M-4's. The 9000's are M-6's.

They are temporary bridgeplates. They are used when the track department has either track 4 or track 3 out of service for maintenance.

Hi guys, I ran F10 #413 this evening with FL-9m 2026 elephant style as a deadhead from New Haven yard to Mott Haven (wye in the bronx). She still has quite a bit of pep!! LONG LIVE THE 413!!!

It's about M-1's and stadium service. M-2's came into service at the same time, if some M-1's are being held back for stadium service, wouldn't it be a logical follow-on to ask about M-2's related to the same service to the stadium? Or do we need a completely separate thread for M-2's? But now that...

Hey guys isnt this subject suppose to be about M-1's?

Hey , I was doing more research and panasonic has a new mini dv camcoreder call the GS320 for under 500 dollars. Sony has 3 mini dv camcorders for under 500 as well that should fit your needs just fine. (HC-26,HC38 and the HC38.) Hope that helps you

Hey dude. Jaap is absolutely right. There is a train that goes to croton harmon and most of the time he has M-1's and its a 8 car train-I should know because he leaves off of track 111 and I leave off of track 112 with a express train to New haven.(Train 1570)

Actually if you can get a panasonic PV-gs500 would be a great camcorder or the sony HC-96 would do just fine. The panasonic is a 3 chip machine witha 1/8000 shutter speed. Hope that gives you a little insight. The only drawback is that they cost more than 500 dollars.

How did we get away from the subject about GP-9 #750?

Hey guys the 750 is out of the paint shop. The North White yard crew took the engine out of the paint shop yesterday evening. It look pretty nice. They lost the torpedo air tanks on the top and relocated them by the futanks.The high hood is still there. Pictures will be coming soon.

Well guys, I was the engineer on train 591 tonight and I had the refurbished M-3's 8138-8139 on the head end of my train. The interiors look pretty nice and the floors are pretty neat also. We will see how long it stays that way.
