Nickel Plate Studios

Welcome to my Channel. Home to the Tidewater Point and Pacific Railway Series. This channel is also home to the Mainline to Dixie Railway Series. Occasionally I'll upload random animation videos, Trainz videos, railfanning videos and whatever else I feel like uploading. Yeah...that's pretty much about it.

Holy crap, at what point did I hit 1K subs? Thank you all so much!! It really means the world to me that folks out there find my videos interesting, especially in a time like now. I don't even consider myself a professional filmmaker, as all of this was only ever a hobby for me. I don't have the financial backing or film equipment that some of these larger channels do, but regardless, I'm glad you all decided to tag along. Things are a little busy on my end at the moment, but I hope to upload some more stuff in the foreseeable future.

Edit: So upon further inspection, it's actually 999 subs lol. I know it's only a number off, but YouTube be on some things lol.

Hello all. I thought I'd drop by again to post more screenshots from trainz. Unfortunately, production of videos (mainly trainz simulator videos) is halted for the time being. I recently upgraded my computer's RAM, and while it is faster, and TANE performs quite well, I run into frame rate issues when filming with FRAPS. I plan to get a new graphics card eventually, but as I have no idea how to install one, and the fact that we're in the midst of a chip shortage (which is why they're insanely expensive), that may not be for a little while yet.

In the meantime, here's a couple of trains on the PRR Bradford Subdivision.

EDIT: These community posts really aren't that user friendly for posting pictures. Sorry if they're cut-off, there's not much I can do I think.

So for some reason, I didn't realize this was a function until now. Anyways, videos are going to be kinda far and in between now that I'm working again, and I figure I can at least share updates here and there between uploads.

Here's one of my latest projects: A somewhat semi-prototype TANE representation of PRR's Columbus-Chicago mainline, with a few creative liberties taken here and there.
