The Toy Train Revue was an excellent series.  I hope TM Books and Video will do them again.

I have #11 and #12 boxed away somewhere... Theres nothing like watching stu shusters pre war trains.  I also have the entire "great toy train layouts of north america" series which is awesome.  Do any of the new videos out do follow up stories on these layouts (Ron Zwieg, Mike Primack, Phil Klopp, Stan Roy, etc)?

i wish they did. follow up stories would be nice, but most of the current videos arent based on the stories of the old days.

o, and we have #1,2,&4 (all Vol. 1)

I have seen these videos in the past, but do not own any.  They do maintain a web site, but it is not updated often.

They suggest going here from the new video "Building an O Gauge Layout".

 Hello Big Walnut Railroader!     Try your local library to see if they have what your looking for & keep in mind that Libraries have an interloan system which means that if you're looking for a particular book or video they will do a search nationwide with other libraries to find what you're searching for. Take Care.

Toy Train Revue was produced from 1991-95.  Tom McComas has re-issued a lot of videos older than that on DVD, so you might drop him a note that you're interested (www.tmbooks-video.com ).

If you manage to find a set of the originals, don't bother looking for #10 - it was never issued.
