Thanks!

I have been lurking for a while and searching the archives of this forum for information. I wanted to say thanks for all the great posts!

I bought my first train set today. It's an Athearn set (which most of you recommended to the other new people who asked.) I got it off www.internettrains.com (which I learned was a good site here!).

I have the frame and top of my benchwork done, a 4X8. I have been playing with RTS 5.0 trying to decide on a layout. The one I really like I on ebay. It was on the back of a box of Kato track someone was selling. It said the layout was in "The worlds greatest hobby" video. I can't find the video either. I haven't been able to replicate it on RTS 5.0, but I'll keep trying.

Thanks for all the tips, whether you knew it or not!

I can make you a copy if you wish.
$1.00 for the blank tape and $1.50 shipping. Let me know.

The video "Building your first model railroad" is available here:

http://store.yahoo.net/kalmbachcatalog/10002.html

Since it is produced by Kalmbach (the parent of this site), I would advise against violating copyright...

More info on "greatest hobby" can be found here:

The downloadable booklet also has some good ideas and suggestions.

I thought it was illegal to copy and/or sell tapes like that.

some public libraries (esp. Big City types) may have copies of various books / videos that you can borrow for 1 or more weeks.
