Video 6 was to include how to get started in ops, plus footage from a real Siskiyou Line op session, plus video of an SP 4449 excursion.

The op session video (2 hours worth!) is already available in Ops Live vols 1 and 2, which you can order here and here.

The 4449 excursion and video is the cover story in MRH Issue 5, due out Jan 4, 2010.

The how to get started in prototype ops part will be presented as some articles with supplementary video in MRH, which are yet to be scheduled.

Reality is selling videos isn't really the best way to reach modelers. I've sold a few thousand copies of my videos - but we're at about 45,000 downloads now of MRH Issue 1 - ten times what I've sold in videos over 5 year's time! It's quite clear if we want to reach the most modelers with this information that MRH is the way to do it.

I like the OPS sessions in DVD format.  I own your complete set and enjoy watching them on the DVD player (large screen TV from the easy chair) versus the downloads which have to be viewed on a computer (small screen sitting at a desk)..

MRH is great, but I would like to still see some additional OPS videos.

Keep up the good work!

I watch Joes Videos through my computer and have and ATI video card in my computer that allows me to watch it on my 55" Vizio TV and I also am typing this looking at my 55" Vizio from across the room sitting in my easy chair.

I tend to agree with Jim!  I also would be prepared to pay for the last ops DVD, even if I could also watch it on the computer.  Joe, you really have made the best and most inspirational MR DVDs!  Don't quit on us now!

Let me see if I got this right Joe…….

My vote is making video #6 but then I’ll just want Ops Session #5 after that 

Joe got it right awhile back by marring a good woman and made her his partner to help on most all of his Hobby and business Ventures.

Laura (my wife) knew that our requirements in a house were:

1. Affordable

2. Capable of getting DSL from a select # of phone companies

3. Room for a railroad layout somewhere, somehow.

4. More than one bathroom.

Everything beyond that was was variable.

She'd had enough of having the layout in the living room of our apartment behind the couch.

Joe, et al: The videos show ops procedures re dispatching and train orders, yes, but a lot of folks also want to know about setting up industries and car spots, car cards and scheduling, making timetables, switching, blocking of cars by destination, and assignment of power, when to time engine servicing stops, etc.One example scenario that comes to mind would be an occasional wildcard addition to the train's card deck, when a major train comes to Roseberg, while the switcher is pulling or adding cars, the road engines could run to the fuel dock, and/or have a crew change. Another wild card could be a hotbox or broken airhose, or knuckle. Just some thoughts, eh? John
