MR TV Show

[Anonymous]

Greetings,

Would it not be nice if Model Railroader had a television show on cable like all those home improvement and cooking shows?

A 30 minute show with layouts, planning, building,painting, scenery, etc.

Have some guy on there like Emirl that would know his stuff about model railroading.

I know I would watch it.

Thoughts?

It would be the Addamm's Family revisited. Picture this Tim the Trainman hooking up 440 V to a N guage SD40-2 "let's see if we can get mach 1"

Na it's been done and we don't need a new generation of train trashers

Yeah. And I could come in as a special guest in a future episode.

I heard a couple of weeks ago that PBS has a show on Monday nights on railroad layouts. Not sure if it's true, as I haven't had much time on Monday nights to watch TV. Also, don't know if it's just in my area, which is the Seattle broadcast area. Does any one have info about this?

And they could have me on the show to do a special on the Union Pacific: Then and Now. My explaination:......."Well, it's really quite simple. Back then the UP was a cool road with awesome locomotives. Today it's a big yellow monster who preys on any other railroad it can get it's claws on".......................

And Dougal could do a special on Conrail, and CNW on CNW, and Superchieffan on Santa Fe, hmmmmmm, I think we may be on to something here..........

It could be a combo of Wayne's World and Model Railroading - Train ON - Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a series of videos put out by Kalmbach years ago that show up from time to time on PBS stations. Since they're reruns, its seems to vary by station as to when. At least some of them (maybe all of them) werre done by Alan Keller before he branched off on his own. Watch your local listings, the name seems to vary but is railroad related.
