Got it thanks.
I GOT TO GET THAT CHANNEL ASAP!!!!!!
When is the episode? Or WAS the episode?
I looked earlier, it does not currently show up in my guide. I set up a season pass to make sure I see it.
It aired 10:00 pm 9/7/2012 on DIY, but apparently it was a repeat from last January. Do you want to see it right now? Here's your link:
They did a great job on the room. Lots of nice details.

Thanks bill!!
Fun to watch! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the link. That was awesome!!!
that was cool! DIY made an incredible box shape with the rolling stock displays. I would love to do something permanent like that. they need some details more on that layout, but the basics are there and he has a cool room to boot. beer trains are cool!

It was neat, but I wish these and others would do some research before they edit these things, like getting the terminology correct. IE: "The train set" , Train Table" and "I didn't know so much went into building tracks"
It really makes the hobby seem toy like, and us seam like the general morons the stereotype portrays us as...
for example, i PUT A "TRAIN SET" up around the Christmas tree, I had a 4x8 figure 8 ho "Train Table" when I was a kid, I now am building a Train Layout, not a table or a "set" I have never "built tracks"
Its shows like this that cause the general public to snicker and jeer when the subject of model railroading comes up. It just happened to me this week. I was at a surplus store looking at under counter strip lights when the guy wanted to know why I wanted so many of them. Me, trying to explain how a double deck train layout casts a shadow on the lower level, I got this:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA remember the Jerky boys CD when they called that guy at the toy store and asked him if he Plays with trains.......HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH then they said to him, do you like to drive your train in to tunnels, you know, soft tunnels of anal flesh...... HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Granted it was some punk kid, but........
Needless to say I didn't buy the lights there........
so, I'm just not gonna talk about trains to anyone anymore, and when i need materials, i'm just gonna lie about what I'm really doing with it.
I'm 35 years old, and things like this shouldn't bother me, but I really felt embarrassed and belittled.
It would have been nice if they would have had one of the professional builders do the layout, but you know that when they do these rooms, they hurry and rush to build things and the train layout got the end of the budget!!!
