![]() Does anyone have a full list of all of the Model Railroader Dream/Plan/Build DVD's ever produced? I have quite a few of them, but out of curiosity would like to have a list of all of the DVD's in the set. Are they even still being produced? Also, there is a companion list of titles from Trains M.

Last night, in my dream it was sometime in 1998 or 1999, I was 5 or 6 at the time, coming home from daycare in the backseat when a small traffic jam due to a red traffic light occured on Alicia Parkway down here in SoCal. While mom was waiting for the light to turn green, I looked out the car window to the south and noticed the car had just crossed an overpass and saw two train tracks strecthing out from under the bridge at an angle. After about maybe a few seconds, I saw what looked like to be a Grey Amtrak F40PH with ditchlights pulling a 73' Budd Baggage, two Amfleet Coaches, an Amfleet Cafe, another Amfleet Coach and an ex Metroliner Cabcar with three strobes on the roof heading northbound to Los Angeles, all painted in the tricolor Phase III Scheme. I knew right away it had to be a San Diegan. The Blue/Grey Surfliner F59PHI's did not appear until maybe late 1998/early 1999, so the F40PH's were still in charge on the Surfline. ![]() Little did I know the F40PH's would only last two more years before they were all retired/sold off in 2001. This photo can never be repeated as there is only one Amfleet trainset used as backup, the metroliner cab cars were sent to the northeast corridor, and the bi level Surfliner cars have since been the norm. When I first saw the Blue/Grey F59PHI's the following year, I knew something was on the way. Think of this post as 'A Look Back' or 'In My Own Words' from the author's point of view. Streaming goodbye mr cool sub indo. I sometimes dream about trains running across viaducts in my hometown, usually without incident but sometimes with engines and cars cascading onto the ground. Other times, I dream about an Erie Lackawanna line, almost at nightfall, with semaphores and a grade crossing, sometimes with a rail hard nearby. And, a couple times I've dreamed of having to walk across a bridge that in real life carried a county road across the river, it in the dream carries an EL line across the same river when it's at flood stage. Last fall I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Lionel Strang and the crew of the A Modelers Life podcast. Today that podcast was officially published and is available to download. If you’re not familiar with the Modelers Life podcast, it’s a show about the people who make up the model train hobby. From the shows website, “All modelers have a life, but what do we know of it. This podcast is as much about the people in model railroading has it is about the hobby itself.” Lionel Strang hosts the show with a rotating crew of regular contributors from the model railroad community. Lionel is best known as the builder of the Allegheny and Lackawanna Southern, a 20’ X 30’ HO Scale layout.
