Video Resources

These listings are the result of many hours of YouTube searching since March 2018. Links were live at that time (both YouTube and individual contributors withdraw materials from time to time); descriptions, etc., have been edited from the contributors' YouTube notes.

While care has been taken to ensure correctness at time of preparation, it is the responsibility of the viewer to practice good computer hygiene/ security. No responsibility can be undertaken for omissions or inclusions, including in the notes; and different search criteria or timing might produce a quite different listing.

The inclusion of any individual item or series is not an endorsement of the material, nor is the ommission of something an indication of anything other than I haven't yet seen it. Materials are ordered by country, and where possible all items in a series have been grouped together.

Each entry includes the item's YouTube title and url, the name (or alias) of the filmmaker or contributor, the date of posting to YouTube, and a [possibly edited] description.

Copy/paste the url into your browser or search for the title within YouTube.

Modelling Techniques

Cuban Sugar Mill Model Railway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkJAQkObOf0 -- blackthorne57 -- Published on Jun 28, 2014
The model depicted in this video was made by model maker and Cuban railway expert Peter Smith. After being exhibited in the UK it was donated to a railway museum in Havana, Cuba.
The model does not represent one specific mill but is an accurate representation of what could be seen at many sugar mills in Cuba when the transport of raw sugar cane was undertaken by steam locomotives.

This is the video version of a clinic I presented to the Model Railroad EXPO. It shows sugar cane plantations, how they work and why they fasinate me as a railroad modeler. I also show how I make sugar cane plants and other vegitation for an HOn30 railroad.
