Thanks for your kind words about TMTV. We have at least one layout tour planned per month for the remainder of the year - and sometimes two with the second being our MyLayout feature.

When we do a layout, rather than just feature a lot of runbys with little comment, we like to dig into the whys and hows of the layout with the builder(s)/owner(s) through our in-depth interview. Pretty pictures are nice, but it's hearing what the layout makers were thinking that really helps you, the viewer, see how what they're doing can inspire you and perhaps help you in your own layout aspirations.

We almost never do layout footage without giving you commentary to go with it. When we do layout footage without commentary, it's always bonus outtakes and not standard fare. Too many YouTube layout videos and other video channel layout tour videos we've seen are just runbys and no commentary. We think that's a squandered opportunity, frankly.

We also have a new Mike Confalone "quick-tips" how to series coming ... Mike shares his how-to tips and tricks, plus also shares new materials, methods, and techniques he's experimenting with and gives you his findings. We think it's going to be a great new series.

Thanks for the reminder to renew my subscription to TMTV.

Some good things already planned for 2016 Joe!

Regards,

i have a friend here in Colorado with one of the best layouts I have seen even if he did not design it for operation. It was recently covered in a model railroad magazine which did not even close to doing justice to his layout. He is planning on dismantling it later this year as he is getting older. It would be a great layout for TMTV.

Jerry, please use the contact us form to send us contact info for your friend. No promises, but we can contact him and see how open he might be to a video crew overrunning his home for a day.
