About Us...
|
All modelers have a life but what do we know of it. This podcast is as much about the people in the hobby of model railroading as it is about the hobby itself.
Having always been a fan of the long form conversational interview and having met so many interesting people in the hobby over the years we decided it would be fun to share their back stories with everyone else. So come along with me, Lionel Strang and a strong cast of supporting characters as we discover how life intertwines with this great hobby of ours and helps to strengthen the fabric of who we are as individuals. |

Waz Happenin' with Chris Stilson -
What would you model if you were born and raised in the Buffalo, New York area during those long winters at the eastern end of Lake Erie where it snows ten months of the year?? Add to that a successful career in the air force and the answer is obvious, you’d build a portable six foot by ten-foot layout based on an electrified railroad in the 1960’s. The R&IT is a proto free-lanced railroad whose roots can be found in the Niagara Junction Railway. It’s not often we get to interview an active-duty Lieutenant Colonel and avid member of the AML Nation. So shine those boots and crease those pants soldier as we enjoy another great podcast.

Scenery Emergency with Chris Adams !! -
There are so many facets and skills to learn in this great hobby of model railroading, it's impossible to master all of them and for many of us the best we can hope for is to be really good at one or two disciplines such as trackwork, structures, DCC programming, painting, weathering and capable of handling some others. Creating the scenery for our railroads to run through can be almost an insurmountable task for some while others look forward to this aspect of the hobby with great delight.

Amtrak's 50th with Matt Donnelly -
Fifty years is a long time, especially if you’re a railroad passenger service that most critics thought of as nothing more than a stop gap measure likely to meet its demise sooner rather than later. Amtrak began with one painted locomotive a bunch of borrowed equipment a few full-time employees and a whole lot of anxiety on May 1st, 1971. It’s now time to celebrate a railroad that’s become a fixture on the American rail scene and of course where better to do it than right here on the AML Network.

Lately the hobby seems to be growing at an almost unimaginable rate while things seem to change and get better almost daily. One very revolutionary change has been the advent of remote operations, for some time now remote dispatching has been available, becoming more and more popular with each passing year but lately the ability for someone to operate a model railroad from a distant location or even a different continent has become one of the newest and most exciting changes that we've seen in some time.

Inspiration and the Written Word -
Inspiration comes in many forms and it was after seeing a post on Bob Fallowfield’s Galt Sub Facebook page that we here at the ole’ AML Network decided to challenge or engage his views on publishing an article about his layout in the model railroad press. Some say the 1980’s produced an absolute treasure trove of ideas and inspirational modeling, long before the world wide web took during what some refer to as the golden age of model railroading. Bob has chosen his path to share his layout and modeling skills with the world and we think a more traditional form of publication is needed for the Galt Sub.
