Model Railroading > Incredible Basements on HGTVDate: 06/14/03 22:37 Incredible Basements on HGTV Author: chatanuga Saw this and thought I\'d pass it along:
http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/remodeling/article/0,1797,HGTV_3659_2026734,00.html Supposed to be aired on the show "Incredible Basements" Sunday at 9PM EST on HGTV. Kevin http://chatanuga.org/WLMR.html Date: 06/14/03 22:50 Re: Incredible Basements on HGTV Author: Bluejay Thanks, TiVo set to record....

AWESOME Still drooling over that model railroad, I shall be: Chessie2018 Date: 06/15/03 18:54 Re: Incredible Basements on HGTV Author: KNTower I just finished watching the segment. Hats off to HGTV for showcasing a "serious" model railroad with full operations.
I saw some good plugs for DCC, the Layout Design and Operating SIGS, the car card/waybill system, and other components of prototype operations. Thanks to the layout owner, operators, and HGTV for sharing operations-oriented model railroading with the general public. KN Tower Date: 06/15/03 21:44 Re: Incredible Basements on HGTV Author: telus6429 I just saw it on TV. 1 thing I would have to say is man that was huge and amazing. But I also would say, "When I grow up, I want a layout like that"

I lucked out and the wife saw it too, now she understands what my pile of mess in the basement will look like..... Thanks to HGTV for airing it.....and of course to the modelers who shared!

Bob Date: 06/16/03 11:22 Re: Incredible Basements on HGTV Author: clinchvalley I\'m lucky to have operated on Mike\'s Pokey quite a few times. And yes it is a great, great layout. And if you\'ve never met Mike, truely one of the great people in the hobby and a nicer person you\'ll never meet.
I thought the show was very well done. Knowing the layout first hand, I thought they did an excellent job of showcasing the modeling. Date: 06/16/03 20:10 Re: Incredible Basements on HGTV Author: UPdave rrnut_99 wrote:

It was rebroadcast this morning at midnight. http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/remodeling/article/0,,HGTV_3659_2026734,00.html HGTV often reshows episodes, just have to keep monitoring... Dave. Date: 06/18/03 12:59 Re: Incredible Basements on HGTV Author: microscale What is a "basement?" I\'ve never seen one and am not clear on the concept...

Fortunately, here in California, no one uses their garage to store a car anyway, so that\'s where the layout ends up... -- California Dreamin\' (that we had basements!) |
