It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from the “Young Gun” so this seemed like as good a time as any to check in. Of course as always it wasn’t hard to fill up a couple of hours talking about all sorts of things but we managed to keep it to forty-five minutes.

However as an bonus, turns out Shane and Tony Cook the editor of Model Railroad News had already done a great interview Chris Palomarez the brand manager at Athearn Trains.
