[quote user="altterrain"] <p>Hey Videoguy (do you have a name?),</p><p>The closest there has been to this that I am aware of was a series on the DIY network. It was part of thier "Working on the Railroad" series and they did 4 or 5 30 minute (with commercials) segment on the building a garden railway for a children museum. Everytime it get rerun (pretty often) it get mentioned. It was okay at covering the basics but its difficult any real knowledge with a format of that length. I think there might be a bit more interest with a series that covers a few topics in more depth like -</p><p>Track laying - raised vs. ground level layouts, free floating, ladder roadbed, track cutting, use of rail joiners and clamps etc.</p><p>Power options - track power, DCC, radio control, battery power</p><p>Locomotives and Rolling stock - addressing scale and narrow vs. standard gauge options</p><p>Bridge, Trestle, and Tunnel construction</p><p>Structures and Scenery - appropriate buildings, kits and material for outdoor use, plantings, building mountains, use of stone, water features, etc.</p><p>These are the topics that that come up again and again in the forums from both beginners and authorities. Just my thoughts.</p><p> -Brian </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Brian,</p><p>Did you record it?</p><p>Toad (real name William <span class="smiley">[:D]</span>)</p>
