Rob Arsenault takes his chances with the Kelly Questions, we take a trip out to New Jersey to find out what’s on the workbench of Ron Klaiss of Mine Mount Models and finally we check in with Joe D’Amato of Micro Trains as he tells us some excellent techniques for applying decals.

So pull up a chair, grab yourself a tall glass of Solvaset, a big bowl of damp shredded backing paper and enjoy !!!

We first met Brooks about a year ago through an email we received at the ole’ AML headquarters. (It had fallen behind one of the filing cabinets.) He seemed like the perfect candidate for an interview, young, self motivated and dedicated to model railroading. This is an excellent interview exploring the many facets how life intertwines with this great hobby of ours and helps to strengthen the fabric of who we are as individuals.

When he is not busy searching for Blue box models he’s running his business, Western Audio Works check out his website at:

westernaudioworks.com

Enjoy !!

Still wondering what those bright lights were last night above your house, your Aunt Mabel claims she was abducted by aliens on Tuesday and they took her ’79 Pinto wagon with them. You’re convinced Area 51 is nothing more than a cover for the real UFO’s in Area 73. This all sounds quite reasonable but be prepared to go back… Way back.

It’s the latest edition of the X2F Files as we take a look back at some of the hits and misses from model railroading’s yesteryear with Model Railroad News editor Tony Cook.
