Model trains on TV
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, March 3, 2005 11:53 PM
I'm sorry if this is redundant. but earlier this week I came across a post on some Train forum about a model train show on Cable TV. I looked it up, and yes it was on three times a week in my area of PA. Now I can't find it or the post. I know Friday night and Sundays are two of the days, so I would like to set the VCR for it. Anybody know what I'm talking about ? Thanks, Dave

No, but I know of another one. It's called Tracks Ahead, and it's about both prototypes and modelling. It's on KSPS (PBS) at 5:00 Mountain time.

My DirecTV guide and what is actually playing do not always match up on this channel so I will be watching to see what is actually going to be on.

RFD-TV is a satellite channel that broadcasts two train shows per week. Their current offerings are Great Layout Adventures, which is all O-gauge; and Trains and Locomotives, videos about real railroads, usually featuring steam. In the past, they have carried shows called I Love Toy Trains, a show for children about Lionel, and Trackside, a PBS show about real trains.

RFD-TV is carried by DirecTV and Dish Network.
