My local PBS station had a television show called "Hobby Railroading" on several years ago. It was probably the mid-90's that I last saw it on WTVP-47 Peoria, IL. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it and if it's still being shown somewhere.

If you have DishTV Satelite or access to RFDTV they have a couple of programs that address model railroading: One is "I Love Toy Trains" and the other is "Workin' On The RailRoad".
They are both very interesting and informative.

I've watched "Workin' on the Railroad." There was also "The Train Show" on RFDTV for a time.
I'm not looking for substitute shows, just wondering what happened to "Hobby Railroading."

My local PBS station broadcasts "Tracks Ahead", a program about railroading - actual restored roads, to model layouts. Here is a link::

At least they got Spencer Christian to stop introducing something and then say, "But next,"... ;-)

There were 12 episodes produced by Iron Horse Video Productions. I don't know what's happened to Iron Horse nowadays.
Here's a listing of the 12 episodes of Hobby Railroading from the Boulder Model Railroad Club web site:
The episodes are available at Green Frog.

Thanks. Apparently they only got to 12 episodes, which is too bad. I've got a few on tape, beta tape.
A quick Google search only revealed the site you gave and Cyberspace World Railways' link page. Neither had much info as to if the series was still alive. It'd be a neat thing to stick on something like YouTube or Google Video, if they'd allow it.

Speaking of model railroad TV programs, does anyone know anything about one that was on DIY recently? I cna' tfind out about the show, but I think I did a Google search about a model railroading subject that referred to a TV episode...

DIY's got a series called "Workin' on the Railroad." It's currently on at 7:30 AM ET Tuesday morning. Occasionally they'll have a quick "Hi, this is Joe." segment about a garden railroader during commercials.
