a ModelersLife

We often say that this hobby encompasses so many different aspects that there’s always something for everybody to enjoy. Our next guest is all the way from New Mexico and is  excellent example someone who enjoys many different aspects of the hobby including operations, building steam pro throttles, rebuilding brass engines working with Arduino’s and building his own CTC machines, as well as several other, interesting aspects of the hobby.

John Symanski‘s story is an interesting one, especially when you consider what he did for a living most of his adult life and to his credit he was anxious to share many of his adventures both in and around the hobby. It’s a great podcast and one we are sure you’ll enjoy!!!

If your current day to day life is getting you down and you were hoping that ViewerMail would never make a comeback, we can promise you this day is not going to get any better, but we can assure that listening to this latest version of ViewerMail will surely make even the biggest problems seem small. After dealing with catastrophic climate change,  flooded roadbed, improper routing through the transportation museum, the new crew finally caught up to the ViewerMail train just outside downtown Pagosa Springs.

We’d like to bring you some of the finest podcast entertainment the model railroad industry has to offer, but once again the crew at the AML Network reached the lofty goal of chronically disappointing. So grab yourself a big bowl of shredded five cent stamps, a tall cool glass of warm saliva and enjoy!!

For those of you that don’t know our very own Marcus Neubacher is the Director of Administration for the North Carolina Transportation Museum and every few years or so he’ll get the chance to attend a convention for the Heritage Rail Alliance where the free exchange of information among members and working industry professionals is available.

This year the convention was held in Durango Colorado and we hear the ole’ AML Network, decided that we’d need to hear as much of the trip as possible. Of course it took us a while to get there, but eventually we managed to cover a wide range of subjects and produce a podcast well worth listening to. Enjoy!!
