It has been a while since I have updated any of my web pages. So now that I have decided to continue with this business, I will attempt to bring everything up to date. In general I still have the Guides available, see the next page for details, and tapes too are available all as listed on the appropriate pages As for all the other stuff, slides, and photos, I am discontinuing them. This is due, in part, to the digital revolution. Hard copies were hard and time consuming to make. It is easier to digitize this material and store it on disc and/or send it over the internet. In addition it is much easier to manipulate the digital image to produce whatever is required. I still have a lot of slides, and prints in stock and sell them at the various model and railroad shows I attend during the year. If you have any special requests, you can ask and I will let you know of their availability.
The digital revolution is also affecting my tapes, in that I am in the process of converting all of my tape programs to dvd format. This format is far superior to that of tape. So I have decided to release all future programs in the dvd format. To date I have converted a bunch of the old programs, in addition I have been releasing other new programs. All are listed in the DVD section. Tape masters are being prepared for all new programs and tape copies will be available as long as stock and demand remains. Later they may be made to order.
I now have a PayPal account, so any of you interested in purchasing items using either PayPal or credit cards can now do so. Just make sure you let me know exactly what you want and provide a shipping address. I will send you an invoice which you can use to pay for your purchases. I will ship your order when I receive a notice from PayPal.
Now what is available and this ties into the page listing on the side:
Books; All three Guides plus maps
DVDs; Vintage, Steam, Diesel, Traction, Overseas Steam, and a General category. The list continues to expand as I slowly replace tapes with dvd editions and produce new programs.
Tapes; Vintage, Steam, Diesel, Traction, Overseas Diesel and Traction, Overseas Steam, and a General category. (I am not producing any new tapes and am trying to sell out what is in stock. Once they are gone I will only make new ones to order, so check on availability when ordering one.)
Contact Me Page provides an easy way to reach me either on the internet or by using regular mail. Also included on this page are a number of useful railroad related lnks.
End Page is just an extra page in which I will be placing still shots from vidios I have shot. Some will be from existing releases, future releases or just interesting shots taken while out shooting trains.

Please excuse the mess we are in the process of revising our site.

SHOWS
I continue to appear at different model and railroadiana shows, but the number of shows is slowly being reduced. In part it is because the loading and unloading along with the set up is becomming a lot of work. Also there is the cost not only of the shows, and the cost of gas that enter into the selection of a show.
This is the 2008 - 9 schedule as I have it so far. There are no shows scheduled for the Summer. I was at the UPHS meet on July 21, 2007, and if you did not see me there You can see me at the following shows Hope to see you at one of these.
