Model Railroading > Building the Virginian?Date: 03/27/23 09:30 Building the Virginian? Author: RRBMail Sometime back about 2012 Model Railroader ran a series of articles about modeling the Virginian Ry. on a 4'X8' table. Does anyone know if the complete series was ever placed a DVD and/or what Model Railroader issues comprised the entire monthly series? I'm thinking of converting the VRy. layout design to represent the Rio Grande at Helper UT. Thanks in advance!

Date: 03/27/23 10:50 Re: Building the Virginian? Author: aehouse The entire video series is available on the Trains.com website. That's the good news.
The bad news is that you must have a paid subscription to access it. Art House Date: 03/27/23 10:53 Re: Building the Virginian? Author: birdman Acouple of videos about this model railroad are available on the "u tub" web site.

So it is quite possible. Date: 03/27/23 13:23 Re: Building the Virginian? Author: RRBMail aehouse Wrote:

Klambake HQ just told me that The Virginian project layout was never on a DVD for sale. Only the various Model Railroader 2012 issues were produced starting with January 2012. But as of the EOB today MR staff did not know what issues carried the various steps in the project. Walters did place a short infomercial about that project railroad on You Tube because their building were used. So anyone have the 2012 volume and can share in what issues carried the various episodes? Date: 03/27/23 19:59 Re: Building the Virginian? Author: binder001 RRBMail Wrote:

There is not a DVD, but there is a series of videos that one can view if one pays for the trains.com access. The Virginian layout, and a companion series on the "Thin Branch", which was an extension to the original are well-done videos, IMHO. They were made for the MR Video Plus. MRVP was a valuable video system but somebody in the Kalmbach corporate structure has ruined it. If you do subscribe, go to "videos", Look under "modeling". then "layout builds". Gary B.

That was a great 4x8 design, maybe one of their best. Nathan Posted from iPhone Date: 03/29/23 19:53 Re: Building the Virginian?
