Just out of curiosity, what

Just out of curiosity, what dose everyone use to veiw the Monday Movies with?

I had been using the adobe media player which was annoying but functional, but now I use SageTV which is my DVR software. It lets me bring it up through my DVR menus using the remote. Very handy when I am on the couch giving the baby a bottle..

More details about operations! (More trains too :)

I agree with the previous poster regarding more information about the various jobs. For many people, myself included, these videos are the first real exposure to operations, and especially operating with other people. Even though I've been reading about various facets of operations, it still takes a bit to put together the rote aspects with the live action. Plus its just nice to watch the trains and the people running the trains in action. :)

What does your wife call the layout room?

I can't tell you what my wife calls the layout room-- we're not supposed to use that sort of language in the public forum... :)
