I love those videos, every single one of them!  I watch them multiple times, as the information is unmatched, just like the CTT magazine!  I have been in the hobby since my Uncle Joe returned from WWII and bought me a Marx electric train set. Then a Lionel the next year.  My father then bought me American Flyer so variety is the spice!

Bob's Train Box should either get an Oscar, or an Emmy.Cool

 All of the posts on this thread are positive, so why does the thread only show 1 star out of 5?  How are the number of stars determined?

I don't know if there is a fixed release schedule. I have five in the can and am getting ready to do between three to six more in the next week or so.

Great video! I await the next one in the series. How often will they be released?

We're starting to post a new series of short videos that discuss some basic aspects of the toy train world for newbies. We'll be posting them in no particular order (I've already shot five or six), but the first one is "scale and gauge." These are public access and the first posted can be found under Videos.
