g scale model trainsTwo great videos “Riding Household Railways” and “G-Scale Journey” are combined onto one DVD. Imagine being only three inches tall, standing track-side or even climbing inside the cab of a model train. You will view model railroading from a whole new perspective.”Riding Household Railways” features five different G-Scale railways. The Woodland Railway is a massive wooded garden layout meandering past live miniature trees, buildings, bridges and tunnels. The Living Room Railway is a complex of track-work encircling the room as the pet cat looks on. The Household Railway has the run of the house with LGB trains traveling through five rooms. The Garden Railway has a western theme winding its way through a town from yesteryear. The Electric Tramway portrays a rush-hour exodus from a foggy European town. “Riding Household Railways” received excellent reviews from Model Railroader and Garden Railways magazines, and won First Place at the Eleventh Annual ITVA Maryland Video Festival.”G-Scale Journey” is all about the trip. You will travel aboard a narrow-gauge model passenger train as it winds through real-life environments. These are not trains running in circles, but traveling from point A to point B through natural settings. Beautifully photographed, the trip is viewed as passenger, engineer and track-side spectator. You are also treated to side excursions aboard LGB freight trains, trolleys and streetcars. And, what would a great railroad video be without a train wreck? There is a dramatic ending titled “Bridge Out”.
