So Roger Hogan I presume you are talking about. He has
1963 or 1923 video, eh!!! Haven't seen it anywhere!!!

Well we have been doing videos since 1984, including a lot
of the stuff in the way-back machine, and it hasn't put anybody
out of business that I know of!!!!

(not to mention guys selling video

Well we do the crappy music that I guess you refer to. When you don't have
sounds for Northern Pacific, GN, GW, SP, WP, etc that is real, then music is better than faking it with any old steam sounds.
Imagine the 15 year old kid who watches a shot of(Pick a RR), and heres the great exhaust, or neat whistle, and it is not the right RR. So from them on
he swears thats the correct sound since he saw it on a video!!!! Remember everything you see on the internet is true, just like fake news, eh!!!
