Re: Dream-Plan-Build Video Series Table of Contents

This is all good and well. But where can one find these and how to contact the marketer? If MR does not want to indorse the videos why not make a video review section.

Did you see my post earlier in this thread ... ? Here it is again ...

To complete the picture on the DPB series, here's how you get in:

To get put onto the TN Marketing's video list, call 800-533-6644. There are two lists, one for the model railroad series (Dream, Plan, Build), and a prototype railroad series (Trains magazine).

So, to stay on their list to receive future videos, you must return the ones you don't want to pay for (in the postage prepaid return envelope provided), and purchase at least one of every two or three videos.

The lack of info on this series from Kalmbach is dumbfounding, since it's *their* series -- even if they did contract with an outside firm to produce and distribute them. Not how I would run a marketing campaign were I in their shoes ... but here's how to contact the distributor if you're interested in the series.

It's a good series, and I have them all ... and I hope Kalmbach does more media-based material like this. This sort of thing is the future of hobby how-to material if you ask me.

Thanks Joe, as I tend to scan over things I do tend to miss some things now and again.
