 Your employer needs to invest in your hobby, so we can all benefit from your adventures. That's easy for me to say, but I would think it's a safe investment, as we all scrounge for good bargains these days, Of course, I realize that this is my own self interest speaking, and I don't want to bother you with more burdens in your position. But, if we had a vote I am sure it would be in favor of more not less of your videos, regardless of the practicalities of the marketplace. I look forward to the next as I count my change.

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

If I had been doing BTB six or seven years ago, I would have had enough product to have done one twice a week (literally), but the quantities that are being produced today are fairly small, and we aren't being shipped all that much. A lot of what I show in the video are things I've bought (not sent by the manufacturer) for home use - for example, in 27, both buildings and the PC book.

I currently have three locomotives from MTH, some vehicles from Diecast Direct, and one hopper from Atlas O for magazine and BTB use and thats it!

 I enjoy your exploits and wish you did a weekly series. Heaven knows there are enough new products. It adds a three dimensional and humorous slant on product reviews. Looking at a photograph and watching the product in action is like day and night. While this is all based on self interest and not feasibility, or advisability, I think more of them would be a further impetus to gain regular subscribers.  Turning the magazine into more of a multimedia experience is a stroke of genius. Best of luck and keep those videos coming.

Thanks Bob, seems this one was a long time coming but worth the wait. Looking through the window behind you it looks like fine weather you're having.
