Figure 3a

The Item 2 videotape set, Video Textbook for G Scale Automatic Display Ideas (V9202) exhaustively demonstrates several ways to automatically control multiple G scale trains on the same track using very simple non-electronic controls.

* Tape 1 -- Introduction & Automatic Block Part 1:

* Tape 2 -- Automatic Block Part 2

Please be advised -- this is an amateur videotape -- not a professional production. Some parts you may find boring and repetitious. However, to my knowledge, this is the first and only how-to-do-it video on simplified automatic train control. You will see train control demonstrations that are just not available anywhere else.

2. Advanced Videotapes 3, 4, 5, & 6

Item 3 -- Additional Videotapes 3, 4, 5, and 6

The following list identifies people who have at least 1 videotape in the series Video Textbook for G Scale Automatic Display Ideas (V9202). For example, "#1,2, 1996" at the end of the line indicates that person has Tapes 1 & 2, purchased 1996 .

Names were collected from 1992 through FEBRUARY 97, so some phone numbers will be out of date. If you know someone on this list, you may be able to borrow the tapes.
