As an engineer with CSX Railroad since 1999, I am able to teach you how the railroads really work, and how to model it in any scale. I use my experience, humor, and story telling abilities to create amazing videos with phenomenal drone footage and 4K resolution at times. You can follow me on facebook: djstrains. I am always appreciative of any donation to my channel through this link: www.paypal.me/djstrains Youtube may have not notified you of all the videos I have made in the past year, so please go binge watch them all. Its free, and better than Netflix. Thank you, and enjoy the videos. DJ
