May all of you have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year

Remember, our DVDs make great Christmas gifts for the railfan in your family.  This Newsletter begins our 34th year of selling train videos.  My new knees are doing well after my second knee replacement in April.  Unfortunately my wife is still an invalid.  She has taken a few steps with a walker and is getting stronger but still has a long way to go to get out of her wheelchair and drive again.  She is still getting physical therapy so there is some hope for her to gain mobility in the future.  I would still like to do more videotaping but this is looking less and less likely.  I still plan on selling existing DVDs for another year or two as long as customers still want them.  We don’t make much if any money on them anymore but fortunately we don’t need to.  Still enjoying the grandkids – a granddaughter’s volleyball team in Northwest Illinois near where I grew up got second place in the state of Illinois in their class  and the football team containing a grandson made it to the semifinals, both in class 1A, the smallest class in Illinois.  And with someone caring for my wife 24/7 I got to see both teams play this fall and my new great grandson out there.  We have 6 kids, 16 grandkids and three great grandchildren counting step kids with one more on the way.  Our next newsletter will be in June of 2026. 

 

 No other train video producer shows and explains railroading like we do and our catalogue includes programs on fallen flags ATSF, SP, BN, CNW, IC, Wisconsin Central, and Conrail.  We almost always show the whole train and most of our videos show all of the action – day and night.  Our newest program is “PSR on CSX’s Chicago Line in Northern Indiana”, part of our look at PSR on eastern railroads.  This is our 49th program to be released in both Blu-ray and in regular DVD.  You need to specify what type of DVD you are ordering with programs available in both DVD and Blu-ray.  All of our DVD’s have chapters and menus and around half – everything videotaped from 2004 on plus a few programs from 2003 - have a choice of being watched with narration and without narration by using the menu or audio and language buttons on your DVD player controller.  321 programs are available in DVD (49 in Blu-ray) and all are listed in the flyers.  No other train video producer shows and explains railroading like we do and our catalogue includes programs on fallen flags ATSF, BN, SP, CNW. IC, Wisconsin Central, and Conrail.  Our shipping and handling charge on orders remains $5.00 with no charge on orders over $100.  We offer year-round discounts on large orders.  See flyers for details.  These discounts are available only by mail and phone.  If you have questions and get our answering machine, please leave your name and number and we will call you back as soon as possible.  You can reach us by email at bigeee@trainvideos.com or on our webpage at www.trainvideos.com.
