Proto-Future and the Beginner's Guide to Model Railroading

Show Notes

This episode recounts impressionable articles, near-future Amtrak routes, and how I went from modeling the 1890s On30 and choosing a diesel locomotive just for fun to completely abandoning the On30 layout and starting over to make a new layout based on a concept for regional transportation in a state which I've never lived in and barely visited.
