While strolling through the orange hall at York, I bumped into Norm and said hello. We were standing near a display stand of TM books and videos and he mentioned that TM featured his latest layout on one of their recent dvd's, called, 3 RAIL O SCALE TRAINS. So I purchased one, ripped it open and twisted Norm's arm to autograph the disc. (Thanks Norm, hope your arm heals OK). Well I just finished watching it and I'm just blown away at the awesome job TM did filming the layout and interviewing Norm. This is a must have dvd for every fan of Norm's latest layout. I hope to some day make the trip to see it live. I'll be back. Gotta go watch it again. Can't get enough.

I received a flyer from TM Books and Videos today, with Norm's video featured! I'm looking forward to getting a copy for sure!!
Put me down for one for sure. Roo
Nice to meet you Dave, sorry about defacing your brand new DVD. Glad you liked it.
The video also features the Hi Rail Modular Club of Griffith IN, and long time OGR poster Santa Fe Jim (Marek) provides some commentary. I am jealous of their 20 track staging yard!
Here is the YouTube link:
Thank you for the link, Norm! It looks even more impressive, and I'll be glad to hear Jim and see the Griffith Indiana club layout!!
That 20 track yard was created so that each of the 20 members would have a place to park their personal train. What a great idea.
Just home from York myself, and of course I had to get the new TMBV video with Norm's layout on it (one of my true mentors, as I freely tell him). I'm also looking forward to seeing the Griffith, IN groups layout. A bit too worn out tonight to do anything but get ready for bed, but I'll have some relaxed viewing time available tomorrow. I always enjoy the videos produced by Tom and Joe from TMBV.
How about a link to purchase the DVD? Thx

I totally agree; after watching the clip, and seeing other Youtube videos, I think it's fair to say that this layout ranks right up there with the all-time greats, in any scale.
Just marvelous.

Just what I was thinking, Curt!!
I bought the DVD from TM at York.
Excellent in all respects.
I agree. They are getting $14.95 from a 2-railer.
Awesome news!! Glad to hear the guys in Griffith IN are getting their due too.
I met him as well. Great guy. He told me about the DVD and I ended up purchasing it as well. I have watched it once and yes ofcourse it's awesome. His commentary was well done too with very clear explanations of what was being shown in the video.
Most of his YouTube videos are just a glimpse of the layout but this video takes away some of the mystery but still shows the magic.

OK Norm now your gonna need a staging yard for us club members....
