Chad called with the news of this trains return. Well it was my wife's birthday that day so instead of going somewhere far we went to Yardly. There the F9 was cut form the consist and put on a track for a yard crew to take. The F9 needed to be turn and then returned back to the person that has this engine on lease.

Sorry no high speed but you will see it and all its detail in this video clip. The original clip leaving town, vimeo.com/1207853

It is amazing that she was willing to hang out and watch this thing roll into the yard ;)

    Dude, ya married the 'right' woman!
    Happy b-day, youg lady :)
    And now, watch the choo-choo's going by.

    Tech note: Turn down your recording sound level and then the wind noise will be less.... the train will make enough noise even on the low level.

    The on board mic sucks. I thought about putting some foam around on it but I think I am going to just go with a nice off board mic. I have tried turning it down and I lose everything before the wind noise. I think off board it the only way to go, I just need to come up with the extra money to get the one I want. Maybe in a couple weeks I will order it. I know my friends and i are planing another railfanning day in a couple week. I should get it before then so the sound is clear.

    I am thinking about the R0DE StereoVideoMic.

    I got an azden mike and love it.
    The wind will always create problems and you have to get a 'dead cat' cover.

    Don't have a cover on this one...

    buy it here: videodirect.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SMX10&Category_Code=AZSGZM
    I paid almost $100 for it but cheaper here.
    If you get a longer mike it will hang into the wide angle shots. This one is about right.

    Whatever you do... don't get a Rode or Canon !
    Theyre junk.
    Go an test them yourself and don't believe anyone :)

    here's a test: vimeo.com/973392
    then more of them.... vimeo.com/videos/search:azden

    This guy is not biased... vimeo.com/850530
    Good luck and let me know how you make out on the mics
