Layout on PBS show "Tracks Ahead"

This is a video segment that was shot and produced by the PBS show "Tracks Ahead" for their upcoming season which airs January 2009. There are 14 shows
(1 each week, check showtimes in your area), and each show has 4 segments, all dealing with TRAINS!

This particular segment on my railroad was shot by "Tracks Ahead" in April of 2008 during the G Scale National Convention which was held in the Phoenix area. I think the segment turned out really nice and I would like to share it with you, 4 months before it airs on PBS. By the way, the young man and three small kids are my son and his three children (my grandkids), and they have a great love for trains just like me. They love to come over and play trains with me! They will probably inherit this wonderful layout when I am long gone.

I hope you enjoy this video. If you have any comments about what you see, please feel free to contact me.
Have fun!

mrvn1939,

If you do get to Mesa, please look me up and come on over so we can play trains together.  But this is not O scale, it is G scale 1:29, twice the size of O scale. G scale trains are made to run outside in any kind of inviroment; rain, snow, wind and dust.
