Originally posted by sav336 I heard a couple of weeks ago that PBS has a show on Monday nights on railroad layouts. Not sure if it's true, as I haven't had much time on Monday nights to watch TV.

I guess if there was a half hour ,or even and hour TV show of MR Magazine we all would not have to buy the paper copy. It an idea though!

Since they're reruns, its seems to vary by station as to when. At least some of them (maybe all of them) werre done by Alan Keller before he branched off on his own. Watch your local listings, the name seems to vary but is railroad related. Enjoy Paul If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way.

My explaination:......."Well, it's really quite simple. Back then the UP was a cool road with awesome locomotives. Today it's a big yellow monster who preys on any other railroad it can get it's claws on"....................... And Dougal could do a special on Conrail, and CNW on CNW, and Superchieffan on Santa Fe, hmmmmmm, I think we may be on to something here..........

A 30 minute show with layouts, planning, building,painting, scenery, etc. Have some guy on there like Emirl that would know his stuff about model railroading. I know I would watch it. Thoughts?
