Here's another Jenny video, if you have MRVP. http://mrv.trains.com/how-to/operation/2016/10/winston-salem-southbound-series-switching-the-winston-salem-southbound

I know we have a couple women lurking on the forum, I wonder what they think.  I have no objections to seeing more of her. Devil

Combined Video/magazine series for Jennie
Posted by jmbjmb on Monday, November 7, 2016 11:24 AM

Was watching Cody's office for November, great as usual, and got to thinking.  What if there was something similar featuring Jennie?  She does a great job with the various intros and seems quite approachable.  But instead of where Cody's Office is mostly focused on new products and higher level skills, I think using Jennie would be great for introducing new modelers to the hobby.

I think her approachability would work well with the younger demographic and get them interested in the hobby.  What if there were a monthly series in both the magazine and video where she built an entry level layout, structures, scenery, etc and journaled how she did it and what she learned along the way?

Maybe I'm not making sense but what I'm trying to say is she could show that Model Railroading is not some lost art for a bunch of weird older guys playing with trains, but something that can be hip or cool or trending (or whatever it is they say today) for Millennials and Gen Z.
