Your First Model Railroad DVD
Posted by maxman on Sunday, April 5, 2009 5:48 PM

Anybody out there have a copy of a DVD called "Building Your First Model Railroad" by Michael Gross?  I believe that it was part of the Worlds Greatest Hobby promotion.

If you have a copy, I'd appreciate your opinion of its content.

Thanks

Just happened to see it today. Very thorough explanations of how to do it. Excellent for someone wanting to do something with a model RR for his children.

The trackplan is very basic, but the principles he explains would carry through to a more sophisticated layout.

I have it, actually I have a couple of copies I think. It was originally made I believe to be included in the "World's Greatest Hobby" track sets offered by Atlas, Bachmann and Kato. It was also available separately for a very low price, and I think MR or RMC or somebody maybe offered it at one time for free as part of a subscription deal or something. Anyway I would recommend it to a newcommer or actually anybody, even somebody who's been in the hobby a while might pick up some new ideas from it.
