Train Program on Satelite

[hooknlad]

While browsing through the channel guide on my satelite dish, I happened upon a show called "the train show" . Each week the show displays model Railroaders and their accomplishments. Their web site is WWW.THETRAINSHOW.COM . The show is on the RFD channel on Direct TV and the Dish Network.

Thanks, RFDTV also has "Trains and Locomotives" on several times a week. Usually they are a "Machines of Iron" tape, They are worth watching as well.

I wonder if that was the one on the Amherst MRR? Was it on a module?

They display and operate it at their annual MRR show in Agawam, MA every Feb.

Great module, which also has a corrosponding loader on the other end of the layout. I don't know who built it, though.
