The presenter is Jeff Borne, known for his heavy industry HO-scale layout “Columbia River Steel Corp.”

Includes a self-starting CD-ROM “book” with 314 photos and a list of parts used in the project and a 100-page construction instructions (in PDF format). CD contents can be printed out. The video is two hours. $24.95 + $3.65 shipping (in the United States only)
