Our Mission Statement.

a ModelersLife and it's fans present themselves as a supportive and loose group of likeminded people who are not in lock step, not too reverent,
open to discussion by encouraging the participation of all ages, demographics
and skill levels but most of all having fun at whatever level is appropriate to

their personal desires.      
 - Bob Rusczyk circa 2016

SuperFans:

Bruce S. Kelly #1-  Not to be confused with Bruce the Mailboy, this Bruce is the original Superfan and regular contributer to a ModelersLife. In the beginning Bruce's emails gave us something to talk about. 

Then one day he suggested we make a list of specific hobby related questions to ask each of our guests and the Kelly Questions were born!!

​He's also the president of every model railroad club within 102 miles of Medford, Oregon. 

Thanks Bruce!!
