May is going to be a very busy month for the channel, in addition to the usual product reviews and layout update videos, we will be featuring shorts and full length feature videos from the 2024 Railfest in Galveston, Texas at the Galveston Railroad Museum starting May 4th through Saturday, May 13th. You'll see full size trains, and model trains in Z-G scales running at the show.
Also featured will be shorts and full length videos from the 2024 Orange Depot Day in Orange, Texas at the historic ex- Southern Pacific passenger depot in downtown Orange starting Saturday, May 11th. This video will feature trains from the Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway running past the depot on the UP's ex-Southern Pacific Lafayette Subdivision situated next to the depot, and model railroads on display and running from the Tex La Model Railroad Club, as well as venders and a variety of family oriented activities and games, and cheap eats!
Finally, we will close out the month by featuring the passage of CPKC's vintage ex-Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson making the historic 2024 CPKC Final Spike Tour as it passes through south western Louisiana and south east Texas with a chase starting in Dequincy, LA on Friday, May 31st. The terminating point of the chase is yet to be determined as of now.
It's gonna be a great month for the channel, and I sincerely hope y'all enjoy the videos!

It's gonna be a busy month.
For starters, I'll be debuting a new end of year special video series, the Eight Days of Christmas. Every day starting Christmas Eve, I'll have a new product review, mainly featuring items that I wouldn't normally buy for the railroads. This year will be 4 HO scale items and four O gauge items.
Additionally, the chase video for CPKC's 2023 Holiday Express will publish at 4:00 p.m. on Christmas Day.
There won't be a monthly update video for the TexLa Model Railroad club this month, but those videos will resume next month. However, the HO modular layout is up and running, finally! So be on the look out for some HO scale TexLa club run videos.
Additionally, I'll be adding a third product review each month in a new scale. So there will be THREE scales of model trains regularly featured on the channel.
Thanks for the love and support you guys and galls out there in YouTubeland show the channel. I've got the best subscribers on YouTube, and I mean that, yall.
From my family and I to yours and you, MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a happy new year!
-Texas Special, out!
