Awesome Trick Video Editing! - Super - 02-24-2022

This is an awesome use of video editing but I would like to know more about how they made those white hopper cars into Plarail.

I imagine the person who ran a set of plarail train with solid background colour (most likely green) and placed the moving train on top of a standstill real life train bridge photo

Anyone recognize these Hoppers from some other type of trains than Plarail? I am curious how this fellow made them. Or maybe if anyone is a Twitter person, I am not, can look over the makers Twitter and figure something out? https://twitter.com/shimotan53/status/1264215660084596742

The wagons are HoKi (ホキ) 1000 or 1100.

The logo is 太平洋セメント T = Taiheiyo Cement.

There are several manufacturers of N gauge versions,

But they don't look like the ones in the video, and in any case they'd be too small.

Digging further, @shimotan53 posted this on 26-Mar-16.

"I was motivated by a certain person's red hoki and tried to make a prototype".

Then: "I made 16 of the white hoki because it's a structure that's easy to make from 0.5-1.0mm plastic board".

Later: "I use a 0.5mm plastic sheet rolled up. If you put it into the core of a toilet roll and leave it in the car under the scorching sun, it will get a firm curl. The white hoki was made using this method".

Fantastic...thank you Dr Chris  [Image: bouncing-thank-you-smiley-emoticon.gif]

He did a wonderful job in creating those from scratch...much more work than I could do. They are great looking aren't they. I was hoping than e used some OO gauge rolling stock to create these as I would be all for trying that. Love his modification idea about rolling up the plastic board in a toilet paper roll and leaving it his car under the scorching sun. LOL...wonder how many trials of other methods he tried before coming to that procedure? I would love to have 4 or 6 of those.

On another note...thats a great idea for a display in the last picture although you would have to have quite a lot of yellow risers and the time to cut each one top and bottom. I wonder if he attached each of them to the one below and then to the wall? Curious as to how he did this...not that I would do it though it is unique.

Oh. I also love what he did with the handrails front & rear on both engines. I can't tell if he made them from scratch or cut out the filled in spaces on the ones that come with the Plarail train and painted them white.

I thin he bought those double track risers and cut them in half, well... that's what it looks like to me.
Have any other ideas how he does it?
