As another year draws to a close it’s time once again to invite one of model railroading’s gate keepers to give us their views on the current state of the hobby. This year we’re fortunate enough to have the editor of Railroad Model Craftsman and the social media expert for White River Productions.

It’s an interesting discussion on the future of the hobby and which direction we might be headed next. The population of this hobby is much younger than the age put forth by the NMRA and this podcast helps explain why. Enjoy!!

It’s a stirring drama about a man and his love of the steel rails that’s bound to tug at your heartstrings, starring Tony Cook and the Evil Overlord.
