In part 4 of the Nearly 10 year old series from 2012, it starts with Tom McComas talking about what headlines are included for this volume.

The first layout in Part 4 is Dimitri Economides of East Lansing Michigan which is located just less than 20 miles away from the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso that TMBV would yet make a segment on Pere Marquette 1225 in a future title. Dimitri has an incredible amount of trains & accessories both european and American Such as Lionel, American Fyer, Ives, Dorfan, Bing, Boucher, Marklin, MTH, and others. The Table layout is powered by a trio of MTH Z-4000 Transformers, and a quarter of Lionel Z transformers. In addition to the Tinplate material, Dimitri also has several more trains from both the Postwar and Modern eras on the display cases. He has the 840 power house, and a bing OO gauge three rail circus train from 1920. The European sets from MTH have a foreign Language announcer on one of the sets. Many of the coaches on Dimitri's layout are the Elettren coaches by a company called Fulgurex. For track he uses gargraves track. Under the main table, a Lionel 408E apple green electric is carrying coaches. Other European engines that Dimitri has is the 4-6-2 (2-3-1 by europeans) number 6232 named the Dutches on Montrose, and one of his all time favorites, is the bing or markin 4-2-2 number 650. The real johnson single operated for Britian's midland railway in the late 1880s. Yellow painted engine number 063 is a resemblance to Emily in the Thomas the Tank Engine TV series. Dimitri could run 12 trains at once. The ceiling train at the south end is european one gauge. The one on the north end has a loop of special gargraves track that could run either standard gauge or O gauge. Dimitri knows how to repair trains except for rewinding an armature. Ever since the Debut of Both Amazon & eBay, it changed the way he searched for trains. In the early part of the 20th century, the accessories from europe are more colorful, ornate and fun to look at. A Montage of the accessories are shown such as the stations bridges & tunnels. Many of them are Reproductions by Marklin while others are originals. The music in this program is amazing to hear. The most rare and valuable of the original stations is the Marklin 2140 station from 1900. Emile Volker is the owner of a company called Santheon which is located in Hungary. Dimitri's oldest item in his layout and collection is the 1880 castle made out of plaster & wood by marklin. The real Borsic set a high speed record at 124.5 MPH in 1936.
