Hi Rhett -- Monte Heppe and I video recorded Bob Hogan’s clinic on building the passenger cars using the Supply Car kits. The results were not very good – we really needed better lighting and videographers (!), but if you would like a copy send me a 10 gig (minimum) flash drive to fit the standard USB port and I will send it back to you with the copy. Fair warning: not all PC’s and their software will play it back, so there are no guarantees that you will be able to see it, though you will get your flash drive back and you could use it for other things (like backing up your computer).
If you want to do this, send me a personal email (not on this list!) at [email protected] . Have fun! Bill Winans ---------------------------------- BEAUTIFUL WORK!! I heard you did a clinic in Chattanooga on how to build these cars. Did you have any slides for that clinic? Would you mind posting them?
