In this 2007 TMBV title, Joe Stachler provides the narration for Building a present century Lionel Fastrack Layout. Some of the Scenes in this instructional DVD were also shown in All About Trains For Kids. In Addition to the Main Lionel Fastrack Layout itself where it still operates today at the Studios, there is also a Short segment on Building a small Roll-Away Layout. Finally as an Added Bonus, One of TM's vintage videos of the '90s: How to Build A Toy Train Layout is Included. Unfortunately, Due To Time Concerns, Donald Varda's Scenes are removed on the DVD as well as an introduction to Engineer Elliot of EnterTrainMent. Of Course Varda Knows everything on table building, but doesn't know anything on Track laying & wiring. Overall, this is a really good instructional DVD for all Lionel Operators & Collectors on using Old School Tubular Track, and/or Present Century Fastrack.
