RFD TV FYI great videos of Trains

[calzephyr]

FYI
For all who have RFD TV on their cable channels, they show Train movies every Monday at 3 PM Pacific Time and repeat the show at 1AM on Tuesday morning. They usually show older Trains videos that are very interesting.
On the same note, they also show We Love Trains shows about Lionel trains. Last week, they featured the Chicago Science and Industry Museum and the great HO layout that David maintains. I don't know if David Harrison is on our forum, but he used to add great interest on the Atlas Forum with his tests of different units on the BNSF layout.

Larry, I don't have RFD TV. I've not seen anything else like that on any of our cable channels.
Sure sounds like it would be some interesting stuff to watch.

Yes, if you ever get the chance to get RFDTV, I would say it is worth it just for the two or three programs each week on trains. Now there are many more old shows and fun programs including the Tractor Classics shows and Tractor pulling. You get the idea, it is a farm belt type of show and trains are included.

Great! I am glad you got to see it. I have been enjoying the show for about two years and have seen some great videos from the steam days and modern videos also.

Last month, the 1/2 hour model show which is normally mostly Lionel, showed a video of the Chicago Museum HO BNSF layout. That was very interesting also to see the layout again. I got to view the HO layout at the Museum in 2003 on one of my trips, but watching the video with explanations of the operation gave me more insight into the layout.
