Glad you like it.

No O scale figures were harmed during the filming.

Using the built-in computer camera means that I can film and edit the BTB in about 30 minutes, versus an hour or more for the product operation videos do (using a camera and tripod). I'd rather keep it light and informal ...

Another great video from Bob! 

What is the status of the injuries of the Artista figure that was hurt during the filming?  Since I am a charter member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Plasticville Figures (PETPF), (My joining was a requirement of the court order earlier this year after my B&O National Limited Passenger Train ran over two Plasticville people. Sad ) I am really concerned how you treated those snobbish high priced Artista figures.

Bob, who is your boss at that outfit?  I think I will write him a nasty letter complaining the MR gets to use real video equipment and high paid staff members to video Cody's Office, while you are using a inexpensive computer camera.  For your review:

Dear Bob's Boss,

I am writing this letter to help  Bob get some new video equipment.  After he and I talked, it is obvious that you don't know nothing about running a magazine let alone a video show like Bob's.   He demands that you get him a gooder camera and some people  like that Cody kid down the hall has got from you.  First you get him a gooder camera and then we can work on staff.  I might suggest that make up persons are the first ones you git on board there at CTT.  About a half dozen of them should help.....maybe. 

BTW, you need to decorate that building of yours.  Uncle Joe, who owns the Roger's Corner's hardware and beauty saloon will sell you some gooder paint to get rid of that hospital white you have stuck Bob with. 

You always seem to stick Bob with inferior stuff.  In fact, while Bob and I are righting this complaint letter to you, we also want to demand a new office for Bob and a big fancy leather chair that swivels.  And he needs a corner office for a view of Wisconsin's famous scenery. 

When you get ready to negotiate this deal for Bob,  just give me a call and not collect like the last time we negotiated a deal for the guy that used to be there, old what's his name.

The ball is in your court, Bob's Scrooge Boss.

Buckeye...............

Bob, I am sure this letter and your new hair cut will get ya a new camera and maybe some more good stuff.  Cody will be jealous.

Bob, you may want to follow that episode up with a disclaimer "No Artista figures were hurt in the making of this production".  Just kidding.  really enjoy the episodes.  Makes CTT a bit more personal.  Thanks,

Dennis

Bob's Train Box 5 is up and running.

Pls note I suggest checking out the new Cody's Office "It's A Model Railroader's Life" at the MR site (on the free side). It is online, now. It will be in a rotating box, or you can go to
