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..

I have had several chances to operate the BC&G railroad and Brooks has done a fantastic job of duplicating the original in S scale. He has done extensive research on the railroad and maintains a Buffalo Creek and Gauley website with interviews and photos about the history of the original. The buildings are mostly scratch built from photos and several of the scenes match the prototype photo posted on the front of the layout. The original BC&G was a short line coal hauler with some lumber and other industries and maintained a stable of steam until the end of the mining operation. The scenery is as phenominal as the real thing. The layout is a little higher than most and that makes the hills and mountains feel even higher. When you are in a valley the feeling is real.

More details about operations! (More trains too :)

Sun, 2009-05-10 06:24 — jwhitten

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... :)
