In this episode, Dan talks about N scale passenger coaches and demonstrates how to add working diaphragms to the ends of them for a more realistic look.

In this episode, Dan and John talk about the history of TSG Multimedia and how the railroad-related productions started. The guys also update the listeners on the progress being made on the production of the next modeling series video all about weathering and detailing HO scale locomotives. Mike Armstrong updates everyone with some of the railroading events coming up, as usual.

Due to popular request, we took a few moments to talk about the HO scale module we use to photograph and video tape Dan's model trains on. Dan talks about some of the things he took into consideration when building the layout, where some of the ideas came from, and how some of the effects were accomplished. And of course, what would a video podcast be without a little train running action? Get a sneak peek at one of the locomotives being featured in our next DVD release as Dan operates it on the layout.

Happy New Year everyone! In this podcast, John talks about the death of his MacBook Pro that caused a delay for the release of the January Video Podcast. In addition to this, Dan and John talk about some of the things in store for 2012 and also review a few TV shows and movies. As usual, Mike Armstrong's current events segment updates our listeners on some current and upcoming railroad-related happenings.

A few days late this month but worth the wait as Dan describes in detail his thought process for creating a great model.
