Video Production of Our Layout

Can't wait for the video, should be great with yours and Marty's on the same DVD, a must buy.

 

congratulations Brian

Brian, thanks for sharing.  I'll bet the video is top-knotch when complete.  Will we be able to view it somewhere?

 

Bob

Congratulations to you and Marty!!!!!!!!!

Brian,

What a great experience you had!  Your's and Marty's layouts on the same DVD will be a treat!!  It looks like you went all out making a comfortable train room as well as a wonderful layout!

Can't wait to get a copy of this DVD.  Should provide a lot of inspiration and be great fun to watch.

That's great Brian! Any idea when we'll be able to buy the video. I know your and Marty's layouts will rise to the top of Ma's list of favorites with the Misty Mountain once she gets to view the video. Any chance of getting it in time for Christmas?

Brian,

    Congratulations! Put me down for a copy...or in current model railroading terms: I would be happy to "Pre-order" a copy.

 

Emile

This is great news as many more people will be able to really enjoy what you did with your layout. Still images are nice, but I'm sure video will show the different element better in depth.

 

Did they give you an ETA as to the video availability?

 

Charlie

Congratulations. It's well deserved. You certainly are an asset to this hobby.

Brian, I want to send along my congrats and look forward to the release.  I will certainly buy this video.  Will it be released in blu-ray?

Charlie and all:

 

The big push will be to have the video ready for distribution by Thanksgiving. Since a lot of it has to do with a Christmas theme, they have a deadline to meet.

 

When they contacted us about doing the video production, I forgot all about the smaller Christmas layout we have in the first level of our home. I had not got around to dismantling it to make a larger version to accommodate 0-72 curves. When Elizabeth mentioned this layout to Joe, he was sure happy to have two layouts to include. This is one time being slow on the draw actually paid off.

 

Joe wanted to include the scale PE 1225 Berkshire with the scale PE passenger cars and the best place to show off this train was the Christmas in the City portion of our layout. The problem is the curves in this part of our layout are 0-42. I said let's chance it and give it a try. To our surprise, it worked even though the engine is rated at 0-54. I would not do this again as it is not ideal, but for the purposes of the video, it came off really well.

GREAT... A Christmas gift for myself, from myself.

"Will it be released in blu-ray?"

 

Jim, I have no idea, but I will find out and get back to you.

I will have to get a copy of this video for sure.  Marty's layout will be a bonus.

Great news....

I for one will be looking forward to seeing more of your outstanding layout.

Also looking forward to seeing the interviews as Joe knows how to get you talking about those train stories that really are what connect us all....

Joe is a pleasure to work with and a real artist. We spent a few days with him back when he filmed our layout for the Christmas video. He really knows how to get the best out of any layout.

Congratulations Brian!!

With any luck maybe it will be ready for Trainfest!!

Awesome! Congrats, I bet that it was very exciting to have this experience, can't wait to see the video.

I'm going to guess yours and Marty's layouts will be in TM's ongoing Toy Train Revue video magazine? That's awesome!

 

Congratulations Brian, you definitely deserved it. It'll be my ambition in the future to get my story done by TM one day. Can't wait to see you and your layout in TM's future release.

Congratulations, Brian! I will definitely purchase this one. I have a good number of TM videos and thoroughly enjoy them all.

Congratulations to both you and Marty Brian!  Two of my great friends and two outstanding layouts! Can't wait to see the finished video!

Brian, that is awesome news. You and Marty epitomize all the good this hobby represents. 

 

I'm looking forward to viewing and sharing this video.

 

Paul

Congrats!  Your layout and Marty's on the same video...I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

This is going to be good. I'm also looking forward to seeing the video of two outstanding layouts.

Larry

Congratulations Brian!  Look forward to seeing the video!

Ken

Brian:

I'll look forward to the TM release!  This sounds like the perfect "stocking stuffer" to myself.

Curt

Great to hear Brian.  I've always enjoyed the pictures.  I'm sure the video will be superb!

Can't wait to see it!  Congratulations!!

 

Most of us have seen several pictures over the years and those in the magazine feature last year, but the video will really make it come alive.  Pictures of layouts are great but can never do full justice.  We'll all be able to enjoy your layout that much more.

 

Congratulations!

Chris, you are welcome to stop by Thursday while he is working.

Brian,

 

I can't wait to see the video of both layouts!

I can't think of 2 better guys who should be featured. 

 

We all look forward to seeing the video.

Hi Brian, congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

  This is so great to hear, two of the nicest guys in the O gauge railroading hobby.

I 100 percent will be purchasing this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Alex

 

Like all the photos of Joe hard at work.

Look forward to seeing the video.

Fabulous news!

Peter

How about a special "Extended Cut" for the true aficionados of 21" passenger cars?  Seriously though, I wish they would start selling train videos that can be embedded on mobile devices and then streamed.   We aren't too far away from the time when the DVD will go by the wayside.

 

I too would like the Blu-ray version if it is available.

 

Thanks for allowing the filming of your layouts Brian and Marty.

Congratulations to Brian and Marty. In the short time I've been in this hobby, both of you gentlemen have been very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

Good for you Brian!

 

It will be wonderful to see your layout 'in the round' and moving. I remember several years before I knew you or your layout that terrific bridge caught my eye.

 

Blue Ray will be the preferred disc I would imagine...

Good luck with the DVD I am looking forward to seeing it.

Congratulations Brian, I'm looking forward to the dvd of your layout. If pictures speak 1000 words, how many does a video speak?
