TrainWorld Virtual O Scale Week! SAVE THE DATES!

Why on York week?

This sounds great and I’m looking forward to it.  As someone who can’t go to York, this is something I can enjoy. Thanks for doing this.

Why on York week?

Because Trainland/Trainworld announced during April York this year, that there no longer going to have a booth at York.

It's also free for those who cannot attend York in person for whatever reason.

All very true

This is a great idea to live stream things like this since most people don't make or can't travel to the shows; more manufacturers and dealers need to do live streams.

@dk122trainsWe have been providing coverage of the o scale show for quite a while now. I think we had some of the first YouTube shows providing coverage of this event. The videos have garnered thousands of views which highlights some great features of why it is worth going to the show itself.   As it pertains to the live streams, once Covid shutdown most trains shows including York,  Andy Edelman formerly from MTH thought it would be a great idea to have all manufacturers on together.  In agreement that it was a fantastic idea, we have spearheaded the idea and tried to make it a much larger event each time.  As some others have said, it provides awareness not only to o gauge or the train show but to a lot of the new products manufacturers roll out.  Many train enthusiasts like to get a taste and feel of the items they spend a lot of money for.  We try to cover as much as we can.  These videos can be rewatched at anytime so there is no need to fret if you can’t make it. This is not meant to supplement anything and if you watch our shows we have always been encouraging of attending train shows as we have been loyal attendees and participants for three generations.  We do our best to provide excitement and I guess some entertrainment to the hobby itself. I personally think it just engages and gets more people into the spirit of train season! Thank you for the kind words for the people who do find value in these!

Ken I simply asked a question why on York week. That is not being unkind to anyone.

You may be right, this may very well be the way of the future.

As we all know, York attendance has been dwindling over the last ten years and now that Lionel, Atlas, Bachman and MTH have announced they will not be attending this year's Octobers show many may also decide not to attend.

For me the show was all about talking with the manufactures and seeing new and upcoming products. As most of the train people I associate with live near me and we are lucky to have a number of top ten dealers very close by.

@dk122trains no problem just providing the back drop in a somewhat long-winded explanation. sorry! lol

With York rapidly approaching and me not able to attend, I'm looking forward to see all the coverage from all over the forum. Some interesting things always turn up, whether they are what people find, friends bumping into each other and hanging out, or the next new products. I wish I could attend and hang out with those who I've made good friends with. I guess I'll have to wait for next year and this year's coverage. Keep up the good work and coverage all.

I appreciate Trainworld's videos that Kenny has been producing. 

I had to have some unplanned surgery which is preventing me from working on repairs for a few months, and killed our plan of attending York so I'm very pleased to hear that Trainworld will be hosting these shows during York.  Helps being connected and involved without being there.

Thanks TW.

Jim

I'll tune in for sure!  Can you also offer a 50% discount + free shipping on each manufacturer's stock during each live event?

I didn’t go to the April Show so this is the first I’m hearing about it. To bad but it’s great that they are doing this.

I really enjoy these presentations.  An opportunity to hear folks in the industry and hobby for a much longer period of time than one would at a show, for one thing.  So it's a win-win for those who cannot attend York and for those who can watch the presentations after returning from York, no?

Thank you TW!!!

Trainworld still shows on the Eastern Divisions Orange Hall map…???

Perhaps the show will be live from York, they have done that before.

Disappointing that TrainWorld won't be at York, I look forward to checking out their stock.  I really don't want to watch videos of mostly stuff I'm not interested in for hours, I have other uses for my time.

@gunrunnerjohn That's the great thing about YouTube, once the streams finish and upload, you can turn on captions and scan through the video in mere seconds to the parts you're interested in without evening leaving your couch or putting on pants. Then you still have all those hours to fill with whatever you like. TrainWorld has figured it out!

Tonight is the day it starts!!! The season kick off into trains! Join us on TrainWorld TV tonight at 4PM est.

Come see Jeb from Mega steam smoke fluid, Angela Trotta Thomas and more!

And these days, this is more appreciated than ever. With the gradual extinction of local train hobby shops, folks in most parts of the country no longer have anywhere to go to see new products. Without any chance to look at actual examples of items, you take a risk (and an expensive one!) having to buy things before you've had a chance to see them.

Thanks Ken. I enjoyed today's livestream and look forward to the others this week. That's the first time I've seen Angela talk about her art so that was interesting.  I might order my first new Lionel train set in 4 decades. Heck I might even buy my first MTH Train.

Ken, thanks for offering these and other informative and entertaining hobby videos, but it appears that the above link is bad or expired to the TrainworldTV (website or youtube).  Getting the following error

Sorry!

Big thank you to some amazing influencers last night!  RBP Trains, Chris's Trains, And Things, Matt & Matt Podcast And Bens Trains for sharing some of their amazing layouts.  You can rewatch it below

Also, MTH is up next they are going on tonight at 6PM EDT

Williams will be on tonight along with some showing of ON30

You mean Bachmann was on with On30 with barely showing Willaims.

Great for the On30 crowd, not so much for us 3 railers.

I've enjoyed each episode this week but the Bachmann/Williams presentation was really interesting as I really didn't know much about either brand.

Atlas Trains on tonight!

TrainWorld will be having Lionel on TrainWorld TV at 5PM EDT tonight Friday 10-21- 2022 and they will have a sample on display
