Stumbled over this on You Tube. An insightful and compelling view of
model train history and a bit of what makes us tick. In 4 parts.

Little bit, but the theme is universal.

Hey Chops. It was a neat documentary. Even with no knowledge of British trains or OO scale I still found it fascinating. Thanks for posting!

Yes, it really caught my attention how the narrative tried to explain
our fascination with miniature trains. I rather enjoyed seeing Ian
Rice talk- some of his work is mind bending in its detail and proportion.

Not exactly a history video but this one shows a back in time moment.


When children were respectful and enjoyed a growing hobby. They even dressed correctly.

A very good overview. I didn't know Penn Line had a Mantua heritage.
