Volume 1
Interchange
Your hosts in this video are model railroad operators Jim Hertzog, Lehigh New England Railroad;
Bill Gruber, Reading Lines; and Ken McCorry, Pennsylvania Railroad. These masters of OPERATIONS
show how on and off line "Interchange" traffic is generated. You will follow specified cars
across each layout as they are prototypically "interchanged" between model railroads. Hear each
host explain realistic operations using car cards, crew assignments, Digital Command Control and
dispatching. 40 minutes. All-color, graphics, narration, prototype sound. MRO1.

Volume 2
Helpers
Ken McCorry's Pennsylvania Railroad, North Central Region is the setting for this video on the
use of helper operations. This 35' x 80' model railroad realistically recreates the PRR from
Northumberland, PA to Buffalo, NY. Ride McCorry's Digital Command Control railroad as you
follow a 60-car loaded ore train over the 2.5% ruling grade of Keating Summit. Listen to the
radio chatter as a trio of RS-3 snappers (helpers) couple up to the cabin and begin to shove
tonnage over the mountain. Hear McCorry's own thoughts on learning operations from the prototype
and applying it to his model railroad empire. This is big-time model railroading at its best.
40 minutes. All-color, graphics, narration, prototype sound. MRO2.
