New Podcast dedicated to O gauge trains

Excellent idea!  Will tune in...

Forgive my ignorance around iTunes world. Can you listen without downloading the iTumes software??? I do not have any 'i' whatever and do not plan on getting any. I don't want their proprietary software on my PC. Sounds interesting though.....

Might be interesting but I have no need for itunes.  Can you make it available for other media?

No problem on the other media!

This is actually how Apple picks up the show feed. Click on the link and the click on episode one. A new window should open up and the show will start playing. Nothing to download and no Itunes required.

Derek I will have to give a listen to it, I call into model rail radio (www.modelrailradio.com) all of the time.  I will mention your podcast on our next show.

Hi Mike,

 

I appreciate the mention! Any exposure is good exposure. It's about time us O gauge guys had a show of our own.

Derek, I enjoyed the first podcast it was very informative. This was long overdue for o gauge. Can't wait for more episodes. George Flanagan

Derek, thanks.  I've been listening to model train podcasts on my commute to/from work lately, e.g., Scotty Mason and Model Railroad Hobbyist.  I am downloading your podcast to my ipad now and will listen on the way to work tomorrow.  Good luck with your venture.

Just downloaded it & suscribed. Will listen tomorrow down in the trainroom.

Thank you.

George, thanks for the kind words. I'm really glad you found some good information. 

 

Thanks to everyone else who is downloading and subscribing. The bigger this gets, the more fun we get to have with it. 

 

If anyone has questions please feel free to ask. 

 

Thanks!

Derek

 

Derek,

 

Thank you for taking the iniative to  make this first O-gage podcast.  The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) is always looking for ways to increase membership value and to improve our club.  We have great print publications (Award Winning The Lion Roars, Junior Member Publication, The Lion Cub and Interchange Track), to go along with the updates to our website with improved video capabilities.  We are providing our members with exclusive LCCA video productions as well as more up to date communication with our members thru the social media such as our Facebook accounts for regular members and another site for our Junior Members.  We think it is important to evolve and reach out to attract new members to our club as well as the hobby.  

 

I believe this podcast medium opens up another communication channel to our fellow members and hobbyist.   By advertising on this podcast and with TM Books &Video "I Love Toy Trains" cable TV program on RFD,  the LCCA is supporting the O-gage hobby in an effort to help it grow and reach out to attract new people.    Now people have the option to listen to this O-gage podcast at their leisure whether it be multitasking while commuting to and from work, whie exercising or just listening like listening to a book on tape.   I am very proud to be part of this first podcast.  I am thankful for this innovative project and I look forward to its continued success.  Thank you Derek!

Thanks guys!!!!

Excellent first show Derek. Thank you for your time, effort and dedication to O gauge. Great interview. Looking forward to future shows.

It was nice to gain an insight into Carl Swansons background and what goes into the magazine.

Thanks Jeff! I hope this is the beginning of a very long and successful run. The plan is to be back with a new episode the first week of March. 

Great Show we have needed this for some time. looking forward to up comming episode!!! 

Congrats on the new show.  Looking forward to listening!

Thank you all, glad everyone is enjoying the show so far. The best way you can say thanks is if you're listening to the show on your Apple device or through the Itunes store is to rate the show. The higher rated the show is, the more exposure it gets in the Apple store. Thanks again everyone!

I listened to it today while working on the layout. Quite interesting. Gave you a 5 star review. keep up the good work.

Listened to most of it on my way home from work today.  Great job so far.  Keep it up and I am looking forward to more episodes.  

Derek,  have you had many  listeners yet?  For those of you who have not heard this first O-gage podcast, check it out.   Ths can be be another source of information for you about what is going on in the O-gage hobby.

 

We hope people are making their plans to attend this  March 22-23 LCCA/Lionel Red Carpet Event in Concord NC.  See  you there!

The real value of such an undertaking is that it provides an "oral history" of some aspects of the hobby and the people involved.  Just imagine how useful and informative it would have been to have extensive recorded interviews with the likes of Cowen, Gilbert, and others.

Pretty cool!

I am listen it now when I am working on my stuff!

thank you a lot.

Looking forward for more episodes.

Andre.

Al- The show has picked up quite a few downloads since I announced the show here on the OGRR forum (Thanks everyone!) 

 

Allan- I've always wondered if some of the folks you mentioned especially Cowen ever gave radio interviews back in the 40's and 50's. I hope that having these archived will help provide an oral history down the road. 

 

AG- Glad you're enjoying the show. It's neat for me to hear that people are listening while working on their layouts 

Very enjoyable first episode.  Keep up the good work.

 

Al Kolis represented LCCA very well, and Carl Swanson did the same for CTT.

I just tried to download by way of my iPhone and am getting a message that it can't be found on the server. Any Ida what may be the cause?

Strogey, try using the podcast app for your iPhone. That way you don't have to navigate through iTunes to listen to it. George

Just listened and subscribed. Thank you Derek, great job!

 

Andy

I just listen to it... Nice job.

I'll be subscribing....
